Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in India due to poor occupational safety and unhealthy working conditions. In both the marine and the inland sector, fishing communities have to work for long hours without proper infrastructure. Violence, exploitation, child labour, sexual abuse, discriminations of wages between male and female fish workers, forced labour and poor security at sea increase the vulnerability of these fishing communities, especially small-scale fishers. About 90 percent of this sector belongs to the category of small-scale fishing communities, mainly fishers, fish farmers and fish workers.
