Strategic Resistance(®): Transforming Safety for Women in Maritime
The Strategic Resistance(®) curriculum empowers women seafarers to prevent and respond to harassment, bullying, and assault through practical skills, collective safety, embodiment, and rights training.
Women seafarers working in the maritime industry face heightened risk of sexual harassment, bullying, and sexual assault due to isolation, hierarchical power, and male-dominated cultures. The Strategic Resistance(®) training provides scenario-based, trauma-informed training empowering women seafarers to assert boundaries, document incidents, navigate reporting pathways, and build peer-based safety networks. By combining practical skills with organizational guidance, the curriculum strengthens individual resilience and workplace integrity and advances systemic change for women in this high-risk sector.
