2025 International Women's Day
We were delighted to host the 4th annual webinar to shine a light on the inspiring contribution of women in drowning prevention across the globe, aligning to International Women's Day.
The purpose of these webinars is to highlight and celebrate the contribution of women working or volunteering at all levels of drowning prevention, from a diverse range of countries and sectors.
This year, we heard about the unique experiences, challenges and opportunities of our panel and discussed what this year’s International Women’s Day theme of March Forward means across drowning prevention advocacy, research, policy and practice.
The webinar was an initiative of the International Life Saving Federation’s Drowning Prevention Commission. Watch the webinar recording to learn about the challenges and opportunities for girls and women in different drowning prevention fields and contexts, and discuss how can we meaningfully include women and girls in all levels of drowning prevention across all settings.
Our expert panel includes:
Yasuko Nakagawa – Japan Life Saving Association (Japan)
Mia Bergmann – Flyte (Norway)
Medhavi Gupta – The George Institute for Global Health (India)
Leslie Schwene – City of Huntington Beach Fire Department (US)
Aminath Zoona (Zuna) – Ocean Women Project (Maldives)
Ennia Jones - Splash of Colour Swimming (Australia)
This is a unique opportunity to hear global perspectives on drowning prevention, lifesaving, and water safety.
