In Celebration of International Women’s Day This Wednesday (8), Porto de Navegantes Evaluates Women’s Participation as a Workforce in the Port Sector, Symbolizing the Numerous Struggles and Achievements of Women, Including More Space and Professional Equality.

Internally, promotes gender equality through diversity and inclusion programs, fertility support, and women’s self-defense, which align with SDG 5 – Gender Equality and SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions are directly related.
