The article discusses how the economic and migration crisis in Venezuela has resulted in more women becoming involved in fishing, a sector traditionally dominated by men. The Solunar collective utilizes various disciplines to document this transformation and the accompanying societal issues, including gender violence and inequality. With the establishment of organizations like Mujeres de la Pesca Ocumare, women fishermen are uniting to access resources and challenge existing norms. This shift not only empowers women but also reflects broader economic struggles and social changes within the Venezuelan coast.
