In the Thanthonni Thuruthu Island of Kochi, it’s common to see women standing around near the island’s public taps. These spots have become a makeshift meeting point for these women for a simple reason — about 60 fishermen families who live on the 110-acre island don’t have private water connections, and frequently face drinking water problems due to the lack of proper connectivity to the mainland.
