In episode 115 you meet Helen Buni, who works at the Technical Cooperation Division at IMO and is the focal point for the programme Women in Maritime, the IMO programme on diversity. 

Why did the International Maritime Organisation decide on "Empowering Women in the Maritime Industry" for 2019? And what will happen next year when the theme is something else? Will IMO still be working with the gender issue? 

Listen to Helen Buni speaking about how she sees the future and what initiatives that IMO is supporting and which stakeholders that need to collaborate to move things forward. 

Here is the link to the new film released by IMO on Women in Maritime, Turning the Tide.
