This is the story of Fatima Kreiche, a resilient woman from Qana, born in 1967, who discovered strength, joy, and purpose through fishing. At first, many were surprised to see her working alongside men on the water, but Fatima soon proved her skill, often catching more fish than anyone else. Her dedication inspired other women to follow her example. Fishing became more than a livelihood—it was a way to connect with the sea and honor the memory of her late father, a fisherman. When her husband fell ill, it became essential for supporting her family. Despite challenges, Fatima remains determined, active, and strong, refusing to let hardships define her. Her message to women is powerful: believe in yourself, stay strong, have confidence, and make your presence felt in every corner of society
