Finally, since COVID-19, the livelihood among small scale fisher folks had suffered. Thus, unable to go out fishing, „no catch fish, no income‟. No presence of violence and other discrimination during pandemic times The principle of “leave no one behind,” which underpins the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, is built on global recognition that ending extreme poverty and reducing inequalities require the prioritization of actions benefiting the poorest and most marginalized people (Stuart & Samman, 2017). Further, if there is no presence of violence and other discrimination specially this pandemic period, therefore, this Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) principle of “leaving no one behind” focuses on comprehensive attention on the poorest and most vulnerable people especially among fisherfolks. As different sectors struggle to engage meaningfully with this principle, we hypothesize that greater consideration of social problems in fishing‐dependent communities, such as alcoholism and domestic violence, presents an opportunity for fishery front liners to contribute to the SDGs mandate. Thus, in using personal well‐being information from women living in two small‐ scale fishing communities in Barangay Aplaya, we demonstrated that there were no prevalence and impact of alcoholism and domestic violence in fishing households. Then, it was through this process that the importance of having a “good husband,” often described as “one who avoids alcohol and violence,” emerged as an important part of living well (Jha & White, 2016). Thus, this is the most important coping strategies, in particular, the ability of women to act as independent income earners as a women fisher folks. Furthermore, this challenge is particularly critical in fisheries, which must create
