The study examines the socio-economic status, working conditions, and institutional participation of fisherwomen in coastal Gujarat, India. Based on a survey across major fishing districts, data were collected through interviews and group discussions. Results showed that most fisherwomen were middle-aged, lived in nuclear families, and had limited education. Nearly 60% reported sufficient income, though one-third faced financial hardship. Logistic regression revealed that training and awareness of government schemes significantly increased the likelihood of receiving benefits, while education and age had no effect. Despite their vital contribution to fisheries, women continue to face challenges such as low income, lack of sanitation, and limited access to formal support systems. The study emphasises the need for gender-responsive policies, training, and infrastructure to enhance fisherwomen’s livelihoods and social inclusion.
