Abstract

On the western coast of India, Greater Mumbai, with an estimated population of 12.5 million, is home to the women’s wing of the Maharashtra Macchimar Kruti Samiti (MMKS), a local state union of fishworkers. Recently, MMKS Women’s Wing, which has been struggling for women fish vendors’ rights, took an important first step towards having a greater say in the city’s development by getting the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) to agree to a joint exercise of mapping the city’s fish markets.
