With deep concern we report that Dr Chandrika Sharma, the Executive Secretary of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers, is one of the passengers on the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 that went missing on early Saturday morning. Chandrika and ICSF are great stalwarts of the struggle for fishworkers rights including the rights of women throughout the sector.

Chandrika was on her way to represent ICSF at an FAO meeting in Mongolia.

To pass on your support to her family, her colleague, Ramya Rajagopalan, has kindly offered to pass on messages of support to her family.
