The rapid urbanization of Patna city in India has led to an increase in the number of fish consumers. As a result, many fish vendors have occupied various public spaces to fulfill the demand. However, due to the limited recognized marketplace, only a few vendors are able to sell their products legally. The remaining vendors, including women, use and encroach upon streets, pavements, and other public places. Young women often attempt to select new places for fish vending, and as they earn the trust of the community, the number of vendors gradually increases. While initially dominated by women, men eventually become involved and begin to cover new areas as well. When women are relocated, they start anew in a different area. The women who sell fish in the town face numerous challenges, including harassment to pay an "unofficial tax" to continue selling in certain locations, particularly for women. Legal assistance is required to provide legal security and to incorporate valid vending/hawking zones in the city/town master or development plans, including zonal, local, and layout plans, and to ensure their execution to offer street vendors. Fish sellers have the right to a hygienic place, safe drinking water availability, proper sanitation systems, waste disposal arrangements, and other essential services.
