Cyprus’ Deputy Ministry of Shipping on Friday announced the launch of the second Gender Equality Award in Cypriot Shipping for 2025.
This follows a decision by the Cabinet to establish the initiative as an annual institution.
“The award is presented annually by the Deputy Minister of Shipping, on behalf of the president of the Republic of Cyprus, during an event held in honour of the International Day for Women in Maritime,” the ministry said in its statement.
The ministry has invited nominations for the award, which must be submitted to the selection committee through the director general of the Deputy Ministry of Shipping.
Moreover, the designated application form should be submitted no later than April 30, 2025 at 3pm.
It also stated that “the application form, along with the criteria and regulations, is available in the informational material section under the Gender Equality Award in Cypriot Shipping.”
The Gender Equality Award aims to promote and recognise initiatives that support diversity and inclusivity within Cyprus’ shipping industry.
It was established as part of an effort to foster a more equitable maritime sector, aligning with international efforts to advance gender equality in maritime professions.
