Description Women continue to remain the real architects of a developed
society even though many a times their services are unnoticed
and under rewarded. Marine fisher folk are members of a low
and disadvantaged caste belonging to the lowest economic strata
in Indian society. The fisherwomen, in particular, have a very
low status in the social hierarchy which leaves them worse off
than their compatriots. The fisherwomen in Kerala assume
significance due to their involvement in fish related activities
leading to distribution, availability and value addition. The traditional fisherwomen
play an pivotal role in the fisheries sector in terms of their involvement in fish
related activities viz., fish vending, fish drying, prawn peeling, sorting, grading, fish
packing, and net making. With the changing scenario and the increasing social
welfare schemes from the government to revive this sector, the youth of this
community has started participating in the socio economic activities of the society
and therefore there is a need to reshape their own perception of how they view
themselves. The main objective of this training is to screen out those barriers that
stand in the way for their overall development. The training sessions will provide
insight to gain new skills that will improve their functional efficiency and will help
them to step up as women youth and take the lead to revive their community. I am
sure that the training programme will help them to increase their capabilities and
bring out the best in them.
