In order to eradicate sexual violence in the maritime industry and support the safety of seafarers, Women Offshore founded our own program called Sexual Assault & Violence Eradication (S.A.V.E.).

In episode 96, hear from Christine MacMillan: our S.A.V.E. Program Coordinator. As an experienced female mariner, Christine now manages and oversees the organization’s relationships and development of prevention, response, recovery, accountability and shipboard climate change initiatives, such as victim support resources, reporting avenues, bystander training, and awareness campaigns.
