In Mumbai on 7 December Synergy's Capt Anshul Rajvanshi and colleagues met with George Hoyt and several other members of the International Women Seafarer's Foundation team to see how Synergy could assist the IWSF, a not-for-profit trust that works in aid of women seafarers by promoting gender equality in the maritime profession.

Synergy's Capt Radhika Menon is one of the founders and trustees of the IWSF, whose Adopt A Ship programme is helping to raise awareness of women, and of the career possibilities open to them, in the merchant navy, by reaching out to schools and other institutions for youngsters, and it is hoped that we will be able to help, by linkage with schools and otherwise participating in this important and profile-raising mechanism.

World Maritime Day: Supporting Gender Equality, Empowering Women

The World Maritime Day was celebrated by the IMO and the global maritime community on the 26th of September with the theme Empowering Women in the Maritime Community.

Gender equality has been recognized as one of the key platforms on which people can build a sustainable future. It is one of the 17 goals that underpin the UNs Sustainable Development Agenda, which countries all over the world have pledged to implement, said IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim.

Helping our Member States achieve the SDGs and deliver the 2030 Agenda is one of our key strategic directions. Gender equality and decent work for all are among those goals SDGs 5 and 8- and, although we are highlighting the role of women in the maritime community this year, I want to stress that this is part of a continuing, long-term effort in support of these objectives, Mr. Lim said.

Throughout the year many activities have taken place that proved that for the sustainability of the maritime industry, women empowerment is very important. The industry requires diversification in its workforce.

IMO has invited the shipping industry to show their contribution in women empowerment and towards the SDG 5 on equality of gender. They asked them to post pictures, stories and messages that support the cause on social media with the hashtags, #WorldMaritimeDay and #WomeninMaritime.

In order to support the empowerment of women in the maritime world, the IMOs Women in Maritime programme includes providing gender-specific fellowship, providing high-level technical training for women in developing countries, making an environment for the women to be identified and selected for career development in marine administrations, ports and establishing maritime training institutes.

Women in the maritime world today are strong, powerful and constantly challenging old-fashioned perceptions. Experience tells us that diversity is better; its better for teamwork, better for leadership and better for commercial performance. The maritime world is changing and for the better. With help from IMO, and other organizations, exciting and rewarding career opportunities are opening up for women. And new generations of strong and talented women are responding. They are proving that in todays world the maritime industries are for everyone. Its not about your gender, its about what you can do, Mr. Lim said.

Mr. Lim urged all member States to work towards gender equality and women empowerment in the maritime sector.

World Maritime Day: Supporting Gender Equality, Empowering Women

On 26 September, IMO and the global maritime community celebrate the annual World Maritime Day, under the theme “Empowering Women in the Maritime Community”.

“Gender equality has been recognized as one of the key platforms on which people can build a sustainable future. It is one of the 17 goals that underpin the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda, which countries all over the world have pledged to implement,” said IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim.

“Helping our Member States achieve the SDGs and deliver the 2030 Agenda is one of our key strategic directions.

Numerous activities throughout 2019 have helped support the message that, for sustainability and success in the modern world, empowering women in the maritime community makes sense. Shipping needs diversity in the workforce. (A list of activities which IMO has been directly involved in can be found here.)

This year, IMO is inviting the entire maritime world to highlight and showcase their commitment to empowering women and to supporting SDG 5 on gender equality. Join us by posting your photos, stories and messages of support on social media, using the hashtags, #WorldMaritimeDay and #WomeninMaritime.

IMO’s Women in Maritime programme will continue to support the empowerment of women in the maritime sector in years to come, through gender-specific fellowships; by facilitating access to high-level technical training for women in the maritime sector in developing countries; by creating the environment in which women are identified and selected for career development opportunities in maritime administrations, ports and maritime training institutes; and by facilitating the establishment of professional women in maritime associations, particularly in developing countries.

“Women in the maritime world today are strong, powerful and constantly challenging old-fashioned perceptions. Experience tells us that diversity is better; it’s better for teamwork, better for leadership – and better for commercial performance. The maritime world is changing. And for the better. With help from IMO, and other organizations, exciting and rewarding career opportunities are opening up for women. And a new generation of strong and talented women are responding. They are proving that in today’s world the maritime industries are for everyone. It’s not about your gender, it’s about what you can do,” Mr. Lim said.

Mr. Lim urged all stakeholders to continue to work to break down barriers and empower women in the maritime community.

2019 events and activities – marking World Maritime Day

World Maritime Day is an official United Nations day. Every year, it provides an opportunity to focus attention on the importance of shipping and other maritime activities and to emphasize a particular aspect of IMO’s work. Each year has its own world maritime theme, which is used to steer events and activities throughout the year.

Governments, individually, jointly and regionally are encouraged to mark World Maritime Day on a date of their choosing but usually in the last week of September.

A series of activities and events have already been held during 2019 related to the theme, Empowering Women in the Maritime Community. Many maritime stakeholders have enthusiastically taken up the theme, which has been highlighted at seminars, conferences and panel discussions.

IMO has been directly involved in numerous events. Amongst other activities, an IMO film Turning the Tide, showing how IMO’s Women in Maritime programme is helping to support gender diversity in the maritime sector, premiered earlier this year.
