Challenging gender<br />
stereotypes in Com<br />
In Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>, it is typically thought that<br />
men are the only ones who go fishing,<br />
while women are the cooks in the kitchen.<br />
But this story from Com suco, Lautém<br />
municipality, challenges these stereotypes<br />
and demonstrates that Timorese women<br />
are also involved in fishing activities, and<br />
Timorese men can cook and serve delicious<br />
food to their guests.<br />
In many coastal communities, when the tide<br />
is low, we often see women and children<br />
(and some men) with spears and baskets<br />
over their shoulders, wandering slowly along<br />
the reef flats or in shallow water. They are<br />
gleaning: catching fish, crabs and octopus,<br />
and collecting shellfish and seaweed as well<br />
as other food items.<br />
In Com, women gleaners like to target<br />
octopus because it fetches a good price and<br />
the nearby beachside restaurants are usually<br />
willing to buy their catch. Based on years<br />
of experience, they know the best times for<br />
finding octopus are from January to April and<br />
August to September. Sometimes the low<br />
tide is at night or very early in the morning,<br />
before dawn – but still the women will go<br />
out onto the reef flats, carrying torches<br />
or lanterns.<br />
During the octopus season, one of the main<br />
dishes on the menu at Kati Guest House and<br />
Restaurant is braised octopus. The owner<br />
and chef, 35-year-old Angelo da Silva, buys<br />
his octopus from the local women and<br />
