Submit your photo for International Day for Women in Maritime by 5/10

May 10 All day

In 2021, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a resolution proclaiming an International Day for Women in Maritime to be observed on May 18 every year. The day is designed to raise the profile of women in maritime, strengthen the IMO’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality) and support work to address the current gender imbalance in maritime.

This year in celebration of the International Maritime Organization’s International Day for Women in Maritime, WISTA USA is launching a campaign titled #WomenWhoInspire.

WISTA USA members are encouraged to submit a photo with the name of a woman who inspires you within the maritime community (See example below).

We’ve created the sign below to fill in the name for your photo.
