 We come from a small-scale fishing community on the shores of Lake Turkana. So they depend on their Molo people, depend on their traditions, the traditional knowledge, the customary laws, and the resources around them for their survival. One of the major challenges we got that inhibits us getting our full potential in fishery is bad policies. But in national level, the Kenyan policies and the international policies because most of these policies also trickle down from the international level coming to the national and then to the community level. For instance, why I'm saying bad policies? We have a policy called the beach management unit whereby areas are divided and there are certain groups of people who are allowed to fish there. We never used to have that in our lake. We room the lake. We migrate with the fish. We had the freedom. We had the resources. But now because of these bad policies, we are being inhibited. And there are a lot of conflicts between people who are coming because they have already occupied most of the fishing area, breeding grounds. They have come up also armed conflict at times because of these bad laws. Women play a very important role in fisheries. First of all, at our level, at the community level, women are everything about fisheries. And they are the ones who go to offload, to clean, to market, to cook for the family. So they have a very big role in fishery. They have problems because sometimes when women go to buy fish from the shores, they are attacked. Some are even raped. And sometimes the men also inhibit women from realizing their goals to trade in fishing. Because when they go to collect to get the fish, they are asked for sex. So there is also that trade of if a woman cannot offer a fisherman sex, then she cannot sell the fish to her or allow her to offload from his boat. We really need some policies both international and national to look into the roles of women and give a meaning to the roles of women and the rights of women in fisheries.
