The platform is designed for two audiences:
|
Features include:
|
Explore the community, join the conversation and connect with women shaping the future of the ocean.
We need a healthy ocean to survive,
we need to be inclusive to satisfy this need
|
Women4Oceans, a project of The Ocean and Us, is an ever-evolving concept designed to benefit ocean health through women's empowerment and the feminine perspective.
|
It is a step towards better representation and inclusivity. It also serves as a great networking tool, as women working on shared topics, or in the same location can find each other.
|
To turn things around we must change
our relationship with the ocean
and rediscover our place in the natural world.
Over-fishing, destructive legal and illegal fishing, climate change, pollution, poaching of endangered species, the emerging threat of deep-sea mining and many other deplorable practices are taking their toll on the ocean.
|
W4O recognizes diversity as a key driver for this change. In particular W4O elevates the feminine perspective in the ocean space and the need for all voices to be heard.
|
This unique approach offers new solutions by considering the collective, innate, undiscovered and future value of the ocean.
|
What does W4O do?
- Maintain a directory of women working in the ocean space.
- Delivers talks on the importance of elevating the feminine perspective in the ocean space.
- Offers a cheeky app to help level the (gender) playing field at (ocean) conferences.
- Holds networking events to build community and foster collaboration. London & Tokyo
- Women4Oceans was a partner in the EU co-funded WIN-BIG project - empowering women in the blue economy.
Whilst the project is now closed, The Ocean and Us is hosting some of the assets developed as part of the project on our Win-Big Project Legacy page.
