Mala, a fish vendor in Pitipana, starts her day at 4 AM, embracing the unpredictable nature of her work. Despite the stereotype of a male-dominated fishing industry, women play a significant role in fisheries in Sri Lanka and worldwide, especially in post-harvest activities. Challenges like exclusion from fishing societies and limited access to capital persist, but these women persist too, holding their space in the margins in which they are pushed. Despite their dedication, they remain outsiders, yet their tenacity prevails. This isn't just a story of sellers; it's a testament to remarkable resilience and the unsung heroes who sustain and shape the world of fishing.
