Every day, these women often do different jobs such as: housekeepers, construction workers, scrap collectors… with unstable income. It is the anchovy season, fishermen and traders need to hire more workers so they come here to look for work.

A popular job for many older women is sorting anchovies. Dozens of them are divided into small groups and the anchovies are sorted by size.

Although the job does not require heavy lifting, having to constantly move your hands in water and ice is not easy.

Ms. Le Thi My Dong (65 years old, in Vinh Truong ward) said that she was hired to do this job with a salary of 25,000 VND/hour, this time she earned an average of 100,000 - 200,000 VND per day. There were days when there were no fish, so she had to go home empty-handed and find another job.

The anchovies were just brought ashore and the women were waiting to do the work. Some of them had been waiting for the boat to return since 1am, hoping to earn some extra income during the anchovy season.

Some younger, healthier people choose to work as fish porters. Trays of fresh, heavy fish are moved from the boat to the market by the women.

Ms. Hoang Thi Thu (46 years old, in Vinh Truong ward) shared: "I work as a construction worker but have been unemployed for a while now and no one has hired me. Luckily, there was a fish season so I came here to work to earn some money to take care of my husband and children."

Anchovies are caught close to shore, so fishermen usually leave the port in the afternoon and return to the port the next morning to sell the fish.

Anchovies are bought and sold busily as soon as they arrive at the port. The trays of anchovies, after being sorted, are immediately transported to small markets to preserve their freshness and sell to consumers.

Some women also earn a living by mending fishing nets after each trip at sea. Although mending fishing nets is light work, it requires the mender to sit from morning to evening, making their bodies sore.

Many people have taken advantage of the shade under the bougainvillea trees to mend nets. From these simple, hard jobs, coastal women have nurtured many children’s dreams.
