Being a women, in a maritime industry: it is being a member of the crew : if I may use the image; whereas it takes a village to raise a child it takes a crew to bring a vessel at safe arrival.](https://www.aivp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IWD2021-Marie-Eve-LEMIEUX-1140x641.png)

“In ports, as elsewhere, women can bring courage. And it is precisely a beautiful port film* that reminds us "courage is understanding one's own life, it is clarifying it, deepening it, establishing it, and yet coordinating it with the general life".”](https://www.aivp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IWD2021-Hilda-GHIARA-1140x641.png)

“When we look at maritime practices and port cities through history, we see a largely male world. There have been some changes, but there is still a lot of work to be done in the port city and maritime world and AIVP can play a key role in promoting and establishing gender equality.”](https://www.aivp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IWD2021-Carola-HEIN-1140x641.png)
