The Bright Side: Zanzibar’s women turn the tide with sponge farming
PositiveWorld Affairs

In Zanzibar, the adverse effects of rising ocean temperatures have severely impacted local fisheries and seaweed production, threatening the livelihoods of many. However, women in a particular village are turning this situation around through sponge farming, which not only provides economic opportunities but also contributes positively to the marine ecosystem. This initiative reflects a broader trend of women challenging traditional roles and engaging in sustainable practices, similar to women in Iran who are defying norms by riding motorcycles. Both cases highlight the empowerment of women in the face of ecological and societal challenges.
