ALL FEMALE PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT GROUPS

Women seafarers can face a series of gender-related challenges while working in a male-dominated maritime environment, including lower pay, stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, loneliness and occupational injuries. Historically there has been pressure for women to put up with certain inappropriate behaviours and demands and to become 'one of the guys' to fit in, so they are more comfortable having a dedicated space where they can share, talk and ask for advice from other female seafarers.

Our UK and international female-only Peer-to-Peer Support Groups provide the safe space they need and are helping us pave the way in supporting female seafarers and encouraging the next generation into the industry.
