Abstract

Rajashree Bahnji, Chairperson of the Marol Bazaar Koli Mahila Mase Vikreta Sanstha (MBKMMVS), the Koli Women Fish Vendors’ Association of Marol Bazaar, was born into a large fishing family in Versova, Mumbai, in the State of Maharashtra, India. “Twenty years ago, fishing was a profitable business,” she says, “but because it required labour, I had to drop out of school after Class Four to help my family.”
