In Nduru Beach, Kenya, along the shores of Lake Victoria, Alice Akinyi Amonde and other women leaders fought against the exploitative practice of trading sex for fish in the fishing business. They formed the No Sex For Fish program, with grants from USAID and World Connect, supporting women to purchase their own boats and hire men to fish for them, reversing the power dynamic. However, the village faced catastrophic flooding due to climate change, destroying homes and livelihoods. Despite the challenges, the women demonstrated resilience, seeking alternative forms of income such as raising goats or growing rice. This program exemplifies solutions to adress sexual exploitation by supporting women, recognizing their rights, and supporting livelihoods in vulnerable communities.
