Drive Positive Change for Women in the Industry
Join the Women in Transport Equity Index Project and Drive Positive Change!
Led by our Breakbulk Europe Advisory Board member, Sue Terpilowski, The Women in Transport Equity Index 2023 is a collaborative project that seeks to provide essential baseline data, measure progress and recognise best practices in achieving gender diversity within the transport industry. By participating in the survey, individuals can contribute to shaping a more equitable future and driving positive change. Find out more information here.
The Challenge - Why do we need to act now?
Transport, a vital industry employing over 1.5 million people and contributing £214 billion to the UK economy in 2020, faces a pressing challenge of attracting, recruiting and retaining diverse talent. With only 26% of the workforce being females, the sector is heavily male-dominated. In the sub-sectors, only 16% of the rail workforce is female and a mere 6% in aviation. In the bicycle sector, only 8% of cycle mechanics are women. The exact representation of women in maritime and road transport remains unknown, further underscoring the need for comprehensive data to address the gender imbalance across the industry.
