The 2nd Assembly of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) unanimously adopted ‘Empowering Women in Hydrography’ as a new work item to the Work Programme of the IHO Capacity Building Sub Committee (CBSC).

The goal is to initiate, organize and track a series of activities and initiatives which will enable more women to participate equitably in the field of hydrography and to assume more leadership roles within the hydrographic community.
