HOW TO BE AN ALLY: Allyship guidance to build safer cultures at sea

ISWAN’s global campaign, ‘Safe at Sea… it takes all of us!‘ focuses on empowering male seafarers to act as allies in support of their women colleagues. The campaign provides practical guidance on addressing inappropriate behaviour and building strong support networks. These guides offer actionable steps for seafarers, senior officers, maritime employers, and stakeholders to foster a culture of allyship, especially between male and female crew members, and include concrete suggestions on “what to say and how to say it” when challenging inappropriate behaviour and how to restore a sense of safety in tense or high-pressure situations.
