You're in a Brave Space
Women Offshore's Sexual Assault and Violence Eradication (S.A.V.E.) Program is a brave space to find reporting and support resources.Everyone deserves to feel safe offshore.
Interpersonal violence in offshore environments—including gaslighting, bullying, stalking, physical assault, and sexual assault—continues to be a serious concern. A workplace culture that allows harassment and violence to occur increases the risk of harm and undermines safety at sea.
The effects of such violence can be both immediate and long-term, impacting mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Each survivor’s experience is unique, and the impact can be felt regardless of when the incident occurred.
To help address this issue and promote safer offshore workplaces, Women Offshore launched the Sexual Assault & Violence Eradication (S.A.V.E.) Program. This initiative provides access to reporting tools, survivor support, and resources for those seeking help or wanting to get involved.
