'Women in Leadership = Financially Smart' | Why Women Still Face Barriers in Maritime

Description: How can maritime sectors create pathways for women to advance into leadership, entrepreneurship, and decision-making roles? In this Sagarmanthan session, Firstpost’s Hem Kaur Saroya leads an extensive discussion with maritime experts on the barriers women face across the blue economy from unequal access to funding and professional networks to gender stereotypes and limited pathways to leadership.

Featuring Ruth Schilling, Carolyn Hull, Alexandra Leeper, Anusha Kesarkar Gavankar and Tom Pickerell, the panel explores how policy reforms, investment, education and inclusive leadership can help women shape the future of the global maritime economy.
