Join us at the Scandinavian Maritime Conference as we dive into the challenges and opportunities surrounding crew diversity, global recruitment, and retention at sea. In our session on "Recruitment and Retainment – Cultural Differences & Life Onboard," we'll discuss the complexities of these issues. From cultural disparities and bullying to the ongoing struggle to retain women in traditionally male-dominated roles - real challenges faced by seafarers worldwide. Why is it so hard to retain women at sea? What can we do to make life onboard more attractive and inclusive? How can we create a more diverse maritime community? These are just some of the questions we'll be addressing. We are looking forward to welcoming our speakers Suneeti Bala, Emilie Ørgård Posniak Hansen, Helene Pristed Nielsen, Momoko Kitada, Lisa Loloma Froholdt Ph.D., and Lene Kromand, with Perle Møhl as moderator Be part of the conversation!

The Beijing+30 Network have just launched a new report, Missed Opportunities: A Parallel Report on Canada’s Implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, originally enacted in 1995, identified some of the greatest obstacles to gender equality and strategies for advancing transformative change.   Egale is proud to have contributed to this report alongside over 70 women’s rights and equality-seeking organizations, trade unions, and independent experts, highlighting the diverse realities of women and gender diverse people who face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and an up-to-date assessment of federal policy and programs supporting women and gender equality in Canada.   Read the full report at https://lnkd.in/g43byxy5

Spotlight on the 79th session of the UN General Assembly

Read 👀 @Thania Paffenholz sharing recent lessons learned in Ethiopia’s national dialogue 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 where she touches upon the inclusion challenge “Getting inclusion right is at the heart of broad-based dialogue processes. However, there is often big confusion around inclusion centered around misunderstandings of the goals and strategies of inclusion. Is inclusion seen as representation, as a process, or as an outcome? The simple answer is, that it is all of this, but different strategies and procedures need to be applied for each of these goals.” #inclusion #nationaldialogues #inclusivepeace #Ethiopia https://lnkd.in/e_kgUaky

Excited to be a panelist at the upcoming 4-hour hybrid event organized by the GIZ Diversity Secretariat in honor of the World Day on Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development! Theme: Cultural diversity: let's dialogue, let's be inclusive! This event promises to be a vibrant platform for: 1. Discussing how we can effectively navigate the daily challenges and opportunities presented by working in a multicultural environment. 2. Reaffirming GIZ's unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion within our organization. 3. Learning from esteemed external guests representing organizations like USAID, NESG, NCPWD, Avocats Sans Frontières, British Council, TAF Africa, and UN Women. Cultural diversity is the beautiful tapestry woven from the unique customs, traditions, and perspectives of people from various backgrounds. It encompasses differences in language, religion, ethnicity, nationality, and even generations. This rich blend fosters creativity, innovation, and a deeper understanding of the world. However, navigating cultural differences in the workplace can sometimes present challenges. By promoting open communication, celebrating individual cultures, and fostering a sense of belonging, organizations can leverage diversity to create a truly inclusive and thriving environment. Looking forward to engaging discussions! #Diversity #Inclusion #CrossCulturalCommunication #GIZ

As evidenced by the dynamics of the presidential election, women continue to be held to a different, much stricter standard than men. In my book "WOKE: A Cultural Competence Guide for Communicators, I delve into why and how women continue to struggle for equality and representation. "Women’s quest for equality is the longest-running struggle in the history of the world. Men have ruled over humanity for millennia, and nowhere has their dominance been more pronounced than over the lives and bodies of women. Although women have made great strides toward equality in the last few decades, they continue to be held to a different standard than men, and society holds many unconscious and deeply rooted biases against them. Nevertheless, women continue challenging traditional gender norms, advocating for equal rights, and reshaping female empowerment narratives." https://lnkd.in/gsTAMAbc

“Our next goal is to come up with a report on best practices in gender diversity. Companies can refer to it wherein we will highlight the organisations doing good work,” shares Sanjam Sahi Gupta Founder Maritime SheEO. Watch her full interview with Maritime Gateway here https://lnkd.in/g6jpfuZg

I mean -all the DEI professionals including myself, must be thrilled and proud beyond words today. This is -one of the very biggest milestones and the paradigm shift of industry and in history of our country, whose gender gap ranking is notoriously known as 125th out of 146 countries worldwide. Going forward, we are all challenged with a big question -would we just witness and celebrate this as a #miracle, or leverage this as a #milestone and a #momentum to empower further with each and every one of our actions…? I hereby declare -challenge accepted! #BreakTheBias #InspireInclusion #ImpactThatMatters #WeAreInThisTogether

Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day as we share Delfina’s insights on overcoming workplace challenges. “Our role in the professional world is undoubtedly demanding, however, the barriers we face today give us the opportunity to blaze trails for generations to come. As women, our challenges are different and require a distinct approach - not one of excuses or camouflages, but of meeting obstacles with humility and wisdom. After all, reality is more painful for those who have the mission of ‘paving the way’. I don’t have a lot of strategies, but what has truly helped me is my support system. I’m blessed with management that supports hard work and dedication. Determination drives me forward, and I work tirelessly to achieve my goals. Balancing work and family isn’t easy, but my support system makes it possible. Finding that equilibrium in life is key to reaching professional milestones. Remaining humble and embracing continuous learning have been my guiding lights. Each obstacle presents an opportunity for growth, and I seize it with enthusiasm.” Let’s celebrate the resilience of our Ascending Women who inspire us all! #ascending #womensday #supportsystem #breakingbarriers #toolsforsuccess #workplacechallenges
