Women Seafarers Report 2022

The Mission to Seafarers has been providing practical and spiritual help to seafarers for over one hundred years. Everyday our chaplains, staff and volunteers visit ships all over the world providing emotional support, friendship and a listening ear to seafarers who may be thousands of miles away from home. Our centres provide a place where seafarers can have much needed respite from their ships and a chance to connect with family and friends via the free wi-fi which we provide. We know that seafarers need our support, but we need to ask if there is more specific support that we can provide for women seafarers.

The report explores some of the key challenges that women seafarers face so that we can then reflect on these and identify ways that the Mission can respond to their specific needs.
