Fishing is vital to Vietnam’s economy and coastal communities, providing livelihoods and food for millions. While men venture to sea, women play a crucial role by meticulously mending damaged fishing nets, a tedious but essential task. Using simple tools, they carefully repair tears caused by wear, ensuring the nets remain strong and functional. Their quiet, skilled labor sustains families and preserves a way of life passed down for generations, reflecting the resilience and unity of Vietnam’s fishing communities.
