While fishing out to sea is still mainly carried out by men, clearing boats & preparing fish for sale is still a family affair for many Malagasy communities. 🐠

Women & children will help with clearing nets of fish one by one & gutting them ready for market.

As an Organisation we promote #SocialJustice and therefore condemn the actions of the #Israel government in #palestine

#PalestinianLivesMatter

[EnviroMatters @MattersEnviro]

@GretaThunberg The actions in palestine are part of deeper systemic structures of oppression. @GretaThunberg cannot claim to stand for #ClimateJustice if you do not openly call out the actions of the Israeli government in this.
