Last week, we celebrated all women working in maritime on the occasion of International Day for Women in Maritime (IDWM) 👩💼 🚢 ⚓️ This year's theme was 'Safe Horizons: Women Shaping the Future of Maritime Safety.' As part of a small series featuring women at MSC, and to learn more about health and safety at the company, our Internal Communications team spoke to Leslie Godelaine, Legal Counsel and Critical and Dangerous Goods Manager at our Geneva headquarters. Here are some highlights from the interview: – What does your current role involve? "I'm surrounded by an excellent team, here and abroad, handling the critical and dangerous cargoes we carry on board our vessels, from the booking acceptance to the position of these units on board, which is paramount to protect the crew." – What does IDWM mean to you? "Recognition and therefore a celebration for us, as women working in an industry that has traditionally been male dominated. The situation is gradually improving, but there is still much progress to be made." – What would you say to women who are considering a career in the maritime industry? "As former French Health Minister and former President of the European Parliament Simone Veil said, 'I can, therefore I am.' Our identity, our existence is not determined by a gender but defined by our capabilities and what we can achieve. I would tell them: be yourself!" Thank you for the inspiring words, Leslie! #WomenInMaritimeDay
