Women in Transport Equity Index - Call for Responses

The Seafarers’ Charity is proud to be the main sponsor of the Women in Transport Equity Index 2024. We are committed to advancing equity and inclusion across all transport sectors. We invite your company to join us in this important initiative by participating in this year’s survey.

The transport sector is a challenging environment for women to work in and much needs to be done to provide a supportive environment. For seafarers, the issue can be particularly severe, with women making up just 2% of the global seafaring workforce.

The latest iteration of the Women in Transport Equity Index will comprehensively analyse the gender diversity landscape within the transport sector. Your involvement is vital to ensure the maritime sector is well-represented and can benchmark its progress against other industries.

The Index aims to inspire further action to empower women in the transport industry, and provide those seeking to take action with the evidence to drive forward equity.

By contributing, you’ll help us better understand the state of equity in maritime and identify areas for growth and improvement.

The process is straightforward:

  1. Visit the WORK180 Women in Transport Survey Page.
  2. Click "Get Started."
  3. Complete and submit the survey.

All survey results are fully anonymised and only your organisation will have access to your specific data. The survey deadline is 22 February.

Join us in supporting this valuable research, enabling seafarers to access better and safer working lives.
