Description Women are an integral part of every economy. All round development and
harmonious growth of a nation would be possible only when women are
considered as equal partners in progress with men. It’s high time that we
bring women to the mainstream by increasing their capabilities and articulate
them in a way which is beneficial to the family and the society.
“Theeramythri”, a new and holistic livelihood program initiated under the
Society for Assistance to Fisherwomen (SAF) was envisioned to provide
alternative livelihood options for the fisherwomen by focusing on their social,
economic and gender empowerment. Fisherwomen are identified, trained and
assisted to start new micro enterprises for income generation. There are
approximately 1000 units which are in operation across six different categories viz. garments and
textiles, food, coir, fish, supermarket and others along the nine coastal districts of Kerala. Many of
the units were dropped on various grounds which highlight the need for a comprehensive study on
various SAF groups.
