This year, a one-week online campaign commenced on the 18 May, celebrating the Day for Women in Maritime with the theme “Women in Maritime: Resilience and Leadership amidst a global pandemic”.
The conversation for the D4WIM was initiated when the regional association – Pacific Women in Maritime Association was relaunched during the Regional Conference for Pacific Women in Maritime in Tonga in April 2016.
This D4WIM was reaffirmed during the 2nd Regional Conference for Pacific Women in Maritime in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea in April 2018 with the date of 18th May agreed to as the D4WIM.
Pacific Women in Marine Association hopes that the D4WIM movement will become a global phenomenon that will be celebrated annually.
State institution “State Administration of the Water Transport” congratulates everyone a wonderful Day for Women in Maritime.
