Press Kit – Armateurs de France / ENSM
During International Women’s day, on 8th March 2016 Armateurs de France and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Maritime (ENSM), gave voice to the women officers of the merchant marine.
Armateurs de France and the ENSM have made their training courses and professions gender mix their priority. Thus, in 2014, Armateurs de France was one of those signing the government sector plan on the gender mix for transports. On the other hand, the ENSM is working on making the female high school pupils aware of the courses and professions of the Merchant marine. And the situation is evolving. The testimonies of the female officers prove this fact. Far from any stereotypes, let’s discover a reality based on responsibilities, challenges and solidarity! With a common leitmotiv: either a man or a woman, we are first and foremost sailors, with the same passion for the sea.
