Welcome to Maritime Women: Global Leadership Conference (MWGL)
Policies to develop female human resources and to strengthen the role of women are not new in
the United Nations (UN) agenda. However, in the past few years the UN has taken meaningful
steps towards the acceleration of the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3
to “Promote gender equality and empower women”.
Since 1989, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has utilized the Strategy on the
Integration of Women in the Maritime Sector as a comprehensive policy to expand women’s
capabilities in the maritime sector. Today, the Strengthening Maritime Resource Development
Programme represents IMO´s primary vehicle connecting to the UN’s commitment to gender
equality in support of (MDG) 3.
The World Maritime University (WMU) has developed policies towards increasing the number of
women enrolled in its Masters and PhD programs. A recruitment strategy with strong support from
fellowship donors has resulted in the proportion of female students rising to around a third of the
annual intake. Almost a quarter of WMU faculty are female.
The Maritime Women: Global Leadership (MWGL) addresses the challenges and opportunities
for maritime women given the current political, social, and economic state. The Conference
aims at strengthening the leadership of women in the maritime industry focusing on education,
employment and leadership to promote their success throughout the maritime sector.
For those of you who are joining the Conference, I extend a very warm welcome on behalf of the
Organizing Committee and WMU. We sincerely hope that your participation at the Conference will
be professionally profitable and personally enjoyable.
