Socioeconomic assessment of shrimp farming in relation to local livelihoods in the south-west coastal Bangladesh

Nine different categories of stakeholders in shrimp farming industry ·were assessed to show the socioeconomic impact of shrimp farming in south-west Bangladesh. Among all the stakeholders the shrimp farmer's average own land was 4 ha whereas the seed collectors and faria's had lowest amount of average land, 0.1 and 0.5 ha respectively. The shrimp farming positively impacted to the livelihood of stakeholders. Income of the coastal people, sanitation, working facilities of women, employment, health condition and the literacy rate increased due to shrimp farming. On the other hand shrimp farming had negative impact on the rice production, livestock, drinking water supply, and social conflict and violence had increased due to shrimp farming. There were internal conflicts between different stakeholders; the farias conflict with the depot owners and shrimp farmers, marginal farmers' conflict with the rich shrimp farmers about leasing lands and saline water control, the rice farmers conflicts with the shrimp farmers about agricultural crop production.

Margaret was an only child who grew up on a farm just east of Cayuga, Ontario. After high school, Margaret attended Hamilton Teacher’s College and took a position with Grantham Public School Board and taught at Power Glen school. Margaret was married in 1962 and had 2 children, a daughter and a son in 1963 and 1964, respectively. Margaret left her teaching job to raise her children. Margaret was very creative and artistic and during this time, focused on these talents, which included painting, graphic arts and sewing. Margaret was also an accomplished pianist. In her 40’s, Margaret enrolled at Brock University and in 1989 obtained a Honors Bachelor of Arts degree with First-Class Honors in Sociology. In partial fulfillment of her Honors B.A. she completed her thesis that is entitled ; The State and Liberal Feminism: The Ontario Government’s “Business Ownership For Women Program”. While living in St. Catharines, Margaret attended York University and graduated with a Master of Arts in Sociology in 1992 where her studies focused on women’s issues. Margaret received a scholarship from York University and was a teaching assistant. Margaret stayed on at York University and completed her academic requirements for a Doctorate degree in Sociology. Her dissertation was on self employed women in St. Catharines at the beginning of WWII -- not the” Rosie the Riveters” who took over jobs formerly held by men who had to go off to fight World War II, but women who ran their own businesses when that was still unusual. Margaret completed the research for her thesis but did not complete her written thesis as she made a difficult decision to put her academic work on hold in the mid-1990’s and she returned to her love for the arts, although she always remained a voracious reader and interested in women’s issues. In the last decade of her life, she took up quilting with a passion, which she referred to as fabric arts. Margaret loved colour and being non-traditional. Margaret had been a quilting instructor at the Flemington College for Fine Arts in Haliburton. In 1997, Margaret founded Project Smile in the St. Catharines region, a non-profit group who make quilts for children with cancer. Margaret was also the President of the Niagara Heritage Quilters’ Guild in 2006-2007 and was very involved with the Local Council of Women.

Més enllà de la necessitat de treballar existeix el desig d'estar en relació en llibertat = Más allá de la necesidad de trabajar existe el deseo de estar en relación en libertad

En el monografic que presentem, hi publiquem les ponencies sorgides del seminari de primavera, que, com cada any, organitzem les dones de Duoda. El seminari portava el títol Les relacions d'autoritat i de llibertat en el mercat de treball. Desitjavem donar a conèixer el pensament i els sabers de les dones fruit de la recerca de dotar de sentit la seva experiència femenina en el món del treball, des de la consciencia del que aportem les dones al món amb la nostra diferencia sexual

Aquest que teniu a les mans és el número 30 de DUODA. Revista d'Estudis Feministes. La comissió directiva i la permanent del Centre de Recerca en Estudis de les dones de la Universitat de Barcelona -que es diu també Duoda- volem celebrar amb totes les lectores i els lectors de la revista aquest número, que va acompanyat d'un CD-ROM commemoratiu en el qual Maria-Milagros Rivera Garretas ha ordenat les aportacions, potser, més originals publicades en la revista al llarg dels últims quinze anys. Són aportacions fetes des del feminisme el qual, com ha escrit Lia Cigarini, ofereix una mediació al l’experiència humana femenina tant pràcticament com teòrica, com la relació primera -la relació amb la mare-, acompanyada, quan ho està, per l'amor del pare, fundat també en la seva relació amb la seva mare, relació que -com diu Maria-Milagros Rivera Garretas- no s'acaba amb la infància sinó que afecta a tots i a cadascun dels essers humans durant tota la vida
