Empowering Women in Hydrography
While the number of women in the workforce has risen in recent decades, there remains an imbalance between men and women in leadership positions, and women are still underrepresented in many STEM subjects. To try and change this, the IHO launched the project “Empowering Women in Hydrography” in 2021, with the goal of raising awareness about career opportunities in hydrography, and to increase the number of women in leadership positions. The most recent study, conducted in early 2025, revealed that since the project's implementation, the percentage of female national hydrographers has increased from 7% to 13%—almost doubling. Similarly, the proportion of women chairing IHO bodies has risen from 13% to 24%. Additionally, women now vice-chair 32% of IHO organs. In 2022 the project was officially endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Action.
Circular Letters
The IHO Secretariat communicates important information to Member States (MS) via Circular Letter (CL). Some CLs invite Member States to provide feedback to the Secretariat (e.g. approval of new editions of IHO Standards). In cases where MSs are invited to provide feedback via online form, the link to the form will be included in the CL. Further information is provided in CL 20/2019). All previous years CLs are available from the IHO searchable Document Archive. ________________ Spanish Circular Letters are available HERE
