Abstract

The meeting was held under challenging circumstances. Women from Phuket and Nakorn Sri Thammarat were not able to raise money on time for their travel. Due to the security situation, women from the provinces of Satun and Pattani could not join. Many had family responsibilities that came in the way of leaving home for even a few days. And yet, despite the odds, 79 women fishers from 27 sub-districts in five provinces gathered in southern Thailand for a four-day meeting between the 17th and 20th of March 2010, called by the Southern Women Fisherfolk Network.
