Yemaya Recommends: Film: Give a woman a fish, Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia
This documentary is about women fishers living in the floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia, considered the world’s most productive inland fishery. In these villages of floating huts and boats, both women and men depend on fishing and fish processing, and there are few other livelihood options. Most are trapped in a cycle of poverty, often indebted to middlemen to buy fishing gear and for daily expenses. This documentary describes how a successful project supported a women’s group to upgrade their fish processing techniques, introduced savings and helped to diversify livelihoods.
