sea women
The
work done by sea women is quite impressive.
These women dive in deep water with no breathing equipment’s just earn a
living and it is very surprising to hear that these women are the chief owners
in the Korean society. They dive into
the icy water thirteen meters deep about a hundred times a day. Further still, the older women are the ones
who dive deeper and it is quite remarkable that they donate a portion of their
catch to aid in the repairs of the village schools.
Despite
all these, there are still issues that make this tradition disappear and not
known. Many other tourist attraction
centres are coming up in the island thus overthrowing this hard work done by
the sea women. Younger women in this
area choose to work in resort hotels and leave this work for the elders. Last but not the least, most of the girls and
women these days do not know how to swim and because of these reasons, sea
women are slowly becoming very few and extinct. Written
