Under the theme “From Policy to Practice: Advancing Gender Equality for Maritime Excellence”, the day highlights actions to translate international ambitions and commitments into tangible actions that will make a difference in the lives of women in the sector, from seafarers to shore side professionals.
IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said: “Despite our longstanding commitment to fostering gender diversity across the maritime sector, persistent challenges remain.
