女性海员在海上面临着许多男性可能从未经历过的挑战，从孤立到职场挣扎。

在2025年3月8日国际妇女节之际，全球海事慈善机构海员协会推出了一条专门为女学员和女海员设计的24/7求助热线。

求助热线将提供一个安全、保密的空间，当她们需要情感支持、危机援助，或者只是需要了解他们经历的人时，他们可以在这里与女性团队成员交谈。

这项急需的倡议由国际海事保险公司skulld资助，以支持海运业的性别包容性。

根据国际海事组织（IMO）和妇女国际航运与贸易协会（WISTA）的一项研究，女性仅占全球航海劳动力的2%。

他们中的大多数人在游轮上工作，在一个由男性主导的行业中，许多人感到孤独。

海员协会首席执行官萨拉·巴德（Sara Baade）表示，作为一名海员已经很有挑战性了，但作为一名出海的女性会带来更多的挑战。

Baade认为，对于那些可能不愿意与男性同事讨论自己担忧的人来说，拥有一个由女性主导的支持系统可以带来真正的改变。

她还表示，这条求助热线将与海员协会的女性点对点支持小组合作，建立一个更强大的网络，让女性可以联系和分享她们的经历。

Skuld总裁兼首席执行官Stale Hansen表示，性别平等对海运业的未来至关重要。他指出，为了吸引更多女性从事航海事业，该行业必须创造一个更安全、更具包容性的环境。

去年10月，来自世界各地的skull员工参加了skull海员步行周，为女性海员筹集资金，帮助开通这条求助热线。

Female seafarers face different challenges while at sea, from isolation to workplace struggles that many men may never experience.



On the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, the global maritime charity Sailors’ Society has launched a 24/7 helpline designed exclusively for female cadets and seafarers.



The helpline will provide a safe, confidential space where they can speak to a female team member whenever they need emotional support, crisis assistance, or simply someone who understands their experiences.



This much-needed initiative is being funded by international marine insurer Skuld, to support gender inclusivity in the maritime industry.



Women make up just 2% of the global seafaring workforce, according to a study by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA).



Most of them work on cruise ships, and many feel alone in an industry dominated by men.



Sailors’ Society CEO Sara Baade says that being a seafarer is already challenging, but being a woman at sea brings additional challenges.



Baade believes that having a female-led support system can make a real difference for those who may not feel comfortable discussing their concerns with male colleagues.



She also said that this helpline will work alongside Sailors’ Society’s female Peer-to-Peer Support Groups, creating a stronger network where women can connect and share their experiences.



Skuld’s President and CEO, Stale Hansen, said that gender equality is essential for the future of the maritime industry.  He pointed out that to attract more women to seafaring careers, the industry must create a safer and more inclusive environment.



Last October, Skuld employees from around the world participated in the Skuld Walking for Seafarers week, raising funds to help bring this helpline to female seafarers.
