This video highlights the FISH4ACP program's efforts to combat gender-based violence in Zambia's Lake Tanganyika fishing communities. By collaborating with a travelling circus, the initiative addresses the issue of fish-for-sex and encourages locals to devise their own solutions. Additionally, it aims to alleviate economic pressures by helping women enhance the value of their fish, access better markets, and explore alternative income sources.

FISH4ACP, supported by the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and implemented by the FAO with funding from the EU and BMZ, seeks to improve the productivity and sustainability of the small pelagics value chain in Zambia. This work contributes to poverty reduction, food safety, and the preservation of aquatic resources for future generations.
