Abstract

Sumeethra and Mala are both workers in a prawn processing plant of a company that exports to Japan and Europe. I was invited inside the plant after having introduced myself as a researcher working in the prawn industry of the Netherlands. With Sumeethra I spoke in the presence of the plant manager and with Mala, only briefly during her ten minutes lunch break. Both women have enjoyed higher education, are ambitious and are not married. Here are their stories.
