Evento no Oriente Médio da Wista

4. Wista Middle East Event

Our friends at Fichte & Co have sent in advance word of the Conference on the Power of Gender Diversity scheduled to take place on October 31st in Dubai:-

Shipping has historically been a male-dominated industry and that tradition runs long and deep.

Social perceptions even today lean to indicate that such jobs require skills more associated with men. Both families and society do not encourage women to choose seafaring as their career. Absence of relevant educators and of organizations further contribute to the lack of stimulus for women.Women's International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA), UAE Branch is hosting a session, discussing

Is the industry still reluctant to give equal opportunities to women?
Is smart shipping a threat or an opportunity for women?
What are the negative stereotypes against women in maritime and how can they be overcome?
How would your business benefit from gender equality?
How to empower more females in the maritime sector?
