Women and children - The tsunami's silent victims

Natarajan, a priest at a Shiva temple in Nagapattinam (Nagai) has been witnessing first hand the challenges faced by people affected by the waves. I asked him why. He answered, "Fishermen are at least getting compensation or a loan to start again, but there has been nothing done to address the welfare of women or children." It's not hard to see his point. There were more than 300 families stationed at the Shiva temple for emergency shelter until temporary shelters were built..

The life of a woman in southern India is very different from in the West. It is a very traditional society. It was not long ago that the practice of women throwing themselves on the funeral pyre of their husbands was banned. And even if the law doesn't prohibit it, society still does not accept that a widowed woman can remarry. Men who lose their wives do not face the same restrictions..

Without fish to sell, they have nothing to do. Even boats that have been salvaged that are still bringing in fish are finding it tough to sell their catches. Locals are still reluctant to eat the fish due to all the human bodies that have been lost at sea. A local fisherwoman said "How will I feed my family if no one buys my fish?"

The government has paid these women compensation for the loss of their husbands or children. However, no concrete plans have been developed to help these women retrain for new professions since the fishing industry has ground to a halt. The future for these women looks very bleak.
