Cr\u00e9dito de la foto: Mulleres Salgadas<\/em><\/p>\n

Por Sandra Amezaga Men\u00e9ndez, Coordinadora General<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voces del mar es una serie de art\u00edculos de opini\u00f3n que ampl\u00edan las perspectivas de los pescadores artesanales que participan en la campa\u00f1a Por una pesca justa. Cada mes, un pescador compartir\u00e1 su experiencia de trabajo en el mar, las realidades de la pesca artesanal en su pa\u00eds y lo que debe cambiar para garantizar un futuro justo y sostenible para la pesca en Europa.<\/em><\/p>\n

No me propuse trabajar en el sector pesquero. Estudi\u00e9 Ciencias Pol\u00edticas y Sociolog\u00eda, y mi primer trabajo en una empresa atunera de Madrid lleg\u00f3 casi por casualidad. Pero ese puesto se convirti\u00f3 en permanente y, con el tiempo, lo que empez\u00f3 siendo una elecci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica -cerca de casa, compatible con la crianza de una hija peque\u00f1a- se convirti\u00f3 en un compromiso profesional y personal a largo plazo.<\/p>\n

Ahora trabajo en una organizaci\u00f3n llamada Mulleres Salgadas. Es la primera y \u00fanica asociaci\u00f3n feminista gallega de mujeres que trabajan en el sector pesquero, fundada en 2016 para dar visibilidad, voz y representaci\u00f3n a un colectivo hist\u00f3ricamente excluido de la toma de decisiones. Hoy re\u00fane a cerca de 2.000 mujeres de toda la cadena de valor mar\u00edtima y trabaja para transformar una industria tradicionalmente dominada por los hombres a trav\u00e9s de la incidencia pol\u00edtica, la investigaci\u00f3n, la formaci\u00f3n y la acci\u00f3n p\u00fablica, tanto en Galicia como a nivel europeo. Como miembro de la red europea AKTEA y promotora del Observatorio Galego de Igualdade da Pesca, Mulleres Salgadas aspira a que el sector sea m\u00e1s democr\u00e1tico, inclusivo y sostenible, al tiempo que reconoce el trabajo de las mujeres y refuerza su liderazgo en las comunidades costeras.<\/p>\n

Mi familia siempre ha estado vinculada al mar, pero fue a trav\u00e9s de mi trabajo como comprend\u00ed realmente la complejidad de este mundo. Empec\u00e9 en la gesti\u00f3n administrativa, tratando con proveedores de toda \u00c1frica y Am\u00e9rica, y m\u00e1s tarde me incorpor\u00e9 al departamento de control de gesti\u00f3n, trabajando con atuneros, buques mercantes y flotas auxiliares en un entorno multinacional. Era un trabajo exigente, a menudo invisible, pero esencial para mantener el sistema en funcionamiento.<\/p>\n

Hoy vivo en Galicia, una de las regiones europeas m\u00e1s marcadas por la pesca y el marisqueo. Y sin embargo, parad\u00f3jicamente, estas actividades siguen siendo en gran medida desconocidas, incluso para las personas que viven a pocos kil\u00f3metros de la costa. La pesca sigue vi\u00e9ndose como algo lejano, marginal o anticuado, a pesar de que comunidades enteras dependen de ella econ\u00f3mica, social y culturalmente.<\/p>\n

Los retos a los que se enfrentan estas comunidades son profundos. La productividad de las r\u00edas gallegas est\u00e1 disminuyendo. La contaminaci\u00f3n y los residuos siguen amenazando los fr\u00e1giles ecosistemas. El cambio clim\u00e1tico ya no es un concepto abstracto, sino una realidad cotidiana. Al mismo tiempo, las pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas suelen dar prioridad a otras actividades econ\u00f3micas -turismo, desarrollo industrial, expansi\u00f3n urbana- que atentan directamente contra la sostenibilidad de la pesca y el marisqueo.<\/p>\n

Lo m\u00e1s preocupante no es s\u00f3lo la magnitud de estos problemas, sino la lentitud de nuestra respuesta. La adaptaci\u00f3n es dolorosamente lenta. El di\u00e1logo sigue siendo limitado y excluyente. Los principales agentes sociales -asociaciones de mujeres, grupos ecologistas, organizaciones locales- suelen quedar al margen de los procesos de toma de decisiones que afectan directamente a sus vidas y su trabajo. Existe una especie de inmovilismo institucional, una resistencia a la pluralidad, a la negociaci\u00f3n, a la responsabilidad compartida.<\/p>\n

Para las mujeres en particular, la situaci\u00f3n no ha mejorado, sino que ha empeorado. No existen verdaderas pol\u00edticas feministas en el sector. El an\u00e1lisis de g\u00e9nero est\u00e1 ausente de los diagn\u00f3sticos oficiales. Y esta ausencia tiene consecuencias: peor gesti\u00f3n, menos innovaci\u00f3n y un desperdicio sistem\u00e1tico de talento, experiencia y conocimientos.<\/p>\n

Cuanto m\u00e1s se comprende el sector, m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil resulta permanecer como observador pasivo. El mar no es s\u00f3lo un recurso econ\u00f3mico; es un patrimonio colectivo, un espacio social, un modo de vida. Protegerlo significa proteger a las personas, las culturas y el futuro. Esta realidad me empuj\u00f3 hacia el activismo<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, el activismo no es heroico. La mayor\u00eda de las veces es lento, frustrante y agotador. Hay momentos de profundo cansancio, en los que se tiene la sensaci\u00f3n de golpearse contra un muro una y otra vez sin resultados visibles. Hay cr\u00edticas personales, descalificaciones y, a veces, aislamiento. Pero tambi\u00e9n hay solidaridad, aprendizaje y alguna que otra peque\u00f1a victoria, suficiente para recordarte por qu\u00e9 empezaste.
\nSi pudiera pedir un cambio concreto, ser\u00eda la paridad de g\u00e9nero en el liderazgo y la representaci\u00f3n en todas las instituciones pesqueras. No como un gesto simb\u00f3lico, sino como una transformaci\u00f3n estructural. Porque la paridad no es s\u00f3lo una cuesti\u00f3n de equidad, sino que mejora las condiciones de trabajo, refuerza la toma de decisiones y sit\u00faa las perspectivas desatendidas en el centro de la pol\u00edtica.
\nLas barreras a este cambio no son s\u00f3lo institucionales. Son culturales, econ\u00f3micas, pol\u00edticas e incluso familiares. Operan a todos los niveles. Pero no son inmutables.<\/p>\n

El futuro que imagino es uno en el que las mesas de toma de decisiones sean plurales, informadas y conscientes del medio ambiente. Donde las mujeres del mar no s\u00f3lo sean alabadas en los discursos, sino visibles en las estructuras de poder. Donde la sostenibilidad no sea un eslogan, sino un proyecto social compartido.<\/p>\n

Este futuro no lo construir\u00e1n s\u00f3lo los gobiernos, aunque su papel es decisivo. Tambi\u00e9n depende de que los ciudadanos est\u00e9n informados y sean cr\u00edticos y exigentes. De que rechacen las narrativas superficiales. De la insistencia en que las pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas protejan no s\u00f3lo el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico, sino tambi\u00e9n las profesiones y los ecosistemas que durante generaciones han demostrado ser sostenibles y valiosos.<\/p>\n
