| The'''jaboya system''' is an economic system common in the fishing towns of Kenya, on Lake Victoria. It is a system where the fishermen in the region form relationships (commonly sexual) with women in the communities who wish to purchase the fish to take to the market to sell. It is not uncommon for both the fishermen and the women to have multiple partners. As a result of the vast web of these relationships, the Jaboya system is said to account for the rampant increase in the HIV prevalence in the region. It has also caused the mortality rate in the region to increase. <ref>{{cite web|title=KENYA: Deadly Catch: Lake Victoria’s AIDS crisis|url=http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=61001|work=News Article|publisher=IRIN|accessdate=27 January 2012}}</ref> | |||

| ==Etymology== | |||
| Originally the word jaboya meant, 'customer' but took on a different meaning as the system flourished. It is believed that this was due to the decrease of fish stocks in the area. This lead to more and more women having to use different means in order to be able to purchase fish from the fishermen. The term eventually took on a sexual connontation as more women were having to obtain partners in order to secure having a fishermen to purchase fish from. <ref>{{cite web|last=Okwiri|first=Caroline|title=Jaboya system|url=http://www.jaluo.com/wangwach/1106/Caroline_Okwiri111506.html|accessdate=27 January 2012}}</ref> The word jaboya is said to have been derived from the local Luo language. <ref>{{cite web|last=Quaali|title=KENYA: Helping women to end sex-for-fish culture|url=http://qaali.com/2012/01/03/kenya-helping-women-to-end-sex/|publisher=Somali Women Magazine|accessdate=27 January 2012}}</ref> | |||
