"Breaking the Nets: An Oral History of India’s Fisherwomen"
By Shamsheer Yousaf, Monica Jha, and Sriram Vittalamurthy for The Wire

Over 12.3 million women in India work in fishing, but their contribution is largely unacknowledged, both in government policies and within fishing communities. Visually rich and character-driven, this reporting captures the many ways the industry has both empowered women and failed them.
