Description Women are the real architects of society. 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. Even though women have made
great strides, a gender gap still exists. SAF, under the Theeramythri
program provides continued handholding and mentoring to the micro enterprises
and livelihood ventures that were established under the earlier Tsunami rehabilitation
programs. SAF activity groups have emerged as a new model in catering socioeconomic
empowerment of fisherwomen by providing sustained livelihood security
to the fisherwomen. The outcome is marked by rapid change in the women
empowerment levels and an upheaval in the society.
Policy decisions based on research findings are rooted in ground reality, and
therefore have the capacity to bring about tangible improvement among the
fisherwomen community. As research is a vital input for development planners and
administrators, there was a keen interest to look out for social factors which have the
potential to impact the outcomes of various programmes among the fisherwomen
community. With this aim in view, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute
(CMFRI) is engaged in the process of collecting and analyzing the data and
documenting valuable research findings in the areas of social development of the
fisherwomen. The report also underlines the vital role for re-visualizing the vision of
SAF that can play an active role in amplifying the organization’s roles and
responsibilities and broadening their views and aspirations. The vision document
draws in numerous policy elements which could be taken as action plans and its
implementation will lead to the successful working of the activity groups.
