“…Even though there is no reliable and clear statistical data available for women working in ports in Türkiye, past research has shown that the number of female employees is quite low. Furthermore, in some research, prejudices and stereotypes against women in maritime jobs are attributed to societal and cultural structures (Fidan et al, 2020;Kim et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2017). The study's focus is not on social prejudices, nor has it placed a strong emphasis on them.…”

This study has been designed to address the issue of gender inequality and discrimination experienced by women working in male-dominated sectors. The aim of the study is to determine the presence of gender diversity at the management level in male-dominated industries. Therefore, the perception regarding the participation of women in port management at the management level has been examined in port workplaces where men are predominantly employed. Three major ports located in the southern region of the Marmara area have been taken as samples, and a survey has been directed to white-collar employees working in these ports to reveal their perspective on female employees in the port sector. The research findings indicate that the majority of participants in the study have opposed the widely accepted notion that the sector is not suitable for women. The research findings are considered a positive and inspiring outcome that challenges dominant perceptions towards women in leadership positions at the management level.

“…The social contextual factors play an important role in the interpretation of socialization process and outcomes; yet under a male-dominated industry, women are shaped partly by their encounter with an unfriendly workplace and partly because of their systems of norms, expectations and experiences (Wu, Chen, Ye, & Ho, 2017).…”

“…Organizational support (Wu et al, 2017) and healthy peer relationships (Turner, Suárez, & Aspinwall, 1970) are vital factors in building up women's career development in such an unwelcomed field of work. Pertinent to the issue of women as a potential resource to address the current and predicted future shortage of qualified officers is the concern over possible retention rates.…”

Marine and maritime industry often have been acknowledged as male-dominated. Women represent nearly 2% of the workforce in the maritime community. Even though, the marine and maritime industry have been evolving throughout history, women's placement in it has not been notorious. Women are seldom neglected from the global industry for being family-committed and/ or being considered as weaker sex. Yet women play major roles in sustainable development hence they should be incorporated in ocean-based policy, governance and decision-making. Lower wages, gender disparity, discrimination on board, and harassment can encourage women to keep themselves away from the ocean. Institutions are trying to provide a fair recognition of women in the ocean-related jobs but still efforts are required. It is vital to reduce gender disparity in marine professions and to promote the involvement on women in ocean related diligences. Consistent efforts are required to seize the moment for acknowledgement, in terms of encouragement and support for closing the gender gap This paper aims to elaborate the concerns of gender equality in marine and maritime industry.
