"I go to the shore every day to buy fish and sell. At the end of the day, I earn on Sri Lankan Rupees 100/=, which is nothing. But I have no other source of income. I have five children to take care. My husband is a fisherman. We have been displaced from Mylitty in 1990 and living here since then. My house and other properties were destroyed by the war. I have nothing, but confidence that I will live longer and work" says fifty three years old Thavarasamani Pakiyanathan of Erinthamman Koyilady in Viyaparimoolai in Point Pedro-Jaffna.
