The Tonle Sap Lake of Cambodia is one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, supporting millions of small‐scale fisher livelihoods. Women's contributions in these fisheries are often overlooked due to socio‐cultural expectations of roles and responsibilities. This is a crucial omission since climate and anthropogenic influences increasingly threaten lake inhabitants. Addressing these challenges requires the full participation of both men and women who use the lake, thus it is necessary to first understand the social dynamics of these communities. We investigated whether there were differences between men's and women's perceptions of (i) fishing and non‐fishing practices; (ii) power, access and control over fishing resources; and (iii) perceptions towards conservation and conservation areas in Pursat, Cambodia. We interviewed fishers and key informants, and found differences in perceptions of fishing and non‐fishing practices between fishermen and fisherwomen. Men more openly acknowledged unequal power dynamics, access to and control over fishing resources when compared with women. We found contrasting ideas of community fisheries and conservation between men and women, and health and safety challenges they faced in conservation areas. Findings suggest that community perspectives and unequal power relations established specific roles for women that limited their active participation in fisheries management.

柬埔寨洞萨湖的小城镇渔业和保护区的性别动态感知

柬埔寨的洞里萨湖是世界上生产力最高的生态系统之一，为数百万小规模渔民提供了生计。由于对角色和责任的社会文化期望，妇女在这些渔业中的贡献常常被忽视。这是至关重要的遗漏，因为气候和人为影响日益威胁着湖泊居民。应对这些挑战需要使用湖泊的男人和女人的充分参与，因此有必要首先了解这些社区的社会动态。我们调查了男女对捕鱼和非捕鱼行为的看法之间是否存在差异；（ii）捕捞资源的权力，获取和控制；（iii）对柬埔寨Pursat保护区和保护区的看法。我们采访了渔民和主要信息提供者，发现渔民和女渔民对捕鱼和非捕鱼行为的看法有所不同。与女性相比，男性更公开地承认动力动力，获得和控制捕鱼资源不平等。我们发现男女之间关于社区渔业和自然保护的想法截然不同，以及他们在自然保护区面临的健康和安全挑战。研究结果表明，社区观点和不平等的权力关系为妇女确立了特定的角色，限制了她们积极参与渔业管理。与妇女相比，获得和控制捕鱼资源。我们发现男女之间关于社区渔业和自然保护的想法截然不同，以及他们在自然保护区面临的健康和安全挑战。研究结果表明，社区观点和不平等的权力关系为妇女确立了特定的角色，限制了她们积极参与渔业管理。与妇女相比，获得和控制捕鱼资源。我们发现男女之间关于社区渔业和自然保护的想法截然不同，以及他们在自然保护区面临的健康和安全挑战。研究结果表明，社区观点和不平等的权力关系为妇女确立了特定的角色，限制了她们积极参与渔业管理。
