This year the marine industry is coming together like never before. The Soundings Trade Only Media Group, Metstrade, British Marine, and Marine Industry News are proud to launch the Global Women’s Walk 2025—a movement to honor, support, and elevate the powerhouse women shaping the marine industry.

Step Up and Walk With Us

From May 11–18, coinciding with International Women in Maritime Day, we invite you to walk 5Km (3.2 miles) wherever you are, with whomever you choose. The walk is open to all genders.

Make an Impact Beyond the Walk

When you register, every participant will have the opportunity to donate to Room to Read, a global nonprofit dedicated to learning, literacy and gender equality. Together, we can create lasting change. Learn more at RoomtoRead.org and roomtoread.org/she-creates-change/
