Welcome to our eye-opening video addressing the pressing issue of sexual harassment, bullying, and trauma in the yachting industry. Chef Angela Brown sheds light on the lack of support, inadequate training for captains, and the toxic environment that plagues many vessels.
Join us as we delve into the challenges victims face, often suffering in silence due to job security concerns and limited legal support. It's time to break the silence and demand better training for captains in handling crew well-being.
Discover the support organizations available, such as Yacht Crew Help and the Yachts Mermaid Support Directory, and learn why more resources are crucial in this battle. Initiatives are underway to address these issues and create a safer, more supportive industry.
In this video, you'll also find essential tips: the importance of gaining evidence if you face harassment or assault, and how bystanders play a significant role in supporting survivors. We're challenging the normalization of harmful behaviors within the industry, recognizing that they violate human rights.
If you're part of the yachting community, or simply passionate about change, watch now. Seek education, connect with maritime organizations like PYA or Nautilus, and discover resources that can help you establish a safety net, know your rights, set boundaries, and promote positive change for a safer yachting culture.
Together, we can make a difference. 🤝⚓
