Like so many inhabitants of small island states, the Pacific islanders of Kiribati and Fiji are faced with overpopulation, resource depletion, poor diet and a scarcity of fresh water. But an innovative scheme to train women in new sea farming techniques is not only giving them the opportunity to develop their own income-generating skills but has also given them a greater voice in how family income is spent and in how their villages are run. Other titles in the series are: Dry Days In Dobbagunta - Literacy program spurs anti-liquor campaign in rural India and empowers women. A Healthy Start - The debate over women's health care in South Africa. The Alarm Rings Softly - Caribbean women use drama and reggae to fight domestic violence. The Amahs of Hong Kong - Filipino women exploited as maids in Hong Kong. Footprints of Sorrow - Guatemalan war widows fighting for human rights.
