The Latin American region with full commitment became part of the proclamation made by the IMO in December 2019, during its Assembly in the 32nd Session, where member states agreed to celebrate the "International Day of Women in the Maritime Sector", every May 18, to recognize and pay tribute to the achievements of women working in the maritime industry sector.
The World Conference of Women's Maritime Associations (WIMAs) began on May 18; where Red MAMLa President, Mrs. Elvia Bustavino, presented our association, making reference to the path we have taken so far.
"As President of Red MAMLa it is a pleasure to join you on the International Women in the Maritime Day, date in which we commemorate all women in the maritime, port, logistics and fishing industry and the students who are involved in these careers and promote discussion on the great opportunities we have as a society to consider gender equity in this professional and personal exercise.
As part of the activities associated with the celebration of Women's Day in the Maritime Sector, the Latin American Women in Maritime Association - Red MAMLa, held the Conversatory "Together Charting Directions" in one of the Halls of the International Maritime Organization - IMO, in London.
