This year, on March 8th, Greenpeace Africa's ocean team will raise the voice of local women processors struggling for their livelihoods in a fish processing sector that is gradually becoming challenging with the increasing installation of fishmeal factories in local fishing communities.

Most of the women who used to live comfortably by covering their children’s tuition fees, food and health expenses now, lack financial means to ensure a bright future for them as a result of income loss due to the unfair trade set by fishmeal locally installed factories.

Greenpeace Africa showcased and highlighted the central role these women play in their community where they are almost exposed to all kinds of environmental threats from coastal erosion, coal plants, concrete plants pollution, to the presence of mineral port.
