"This book details the challenges and opportunities for gender equality in the logistics and transport sectors. Drawing on real-world insights from maritime, rail, aviation, and humanitarian logistics, contributors explore the unique barriers women face in these traditionally male-dominated fields. Each chapter is contributed by academics and industry leaders, many of whom are active members of the Women in Logistics and Transport (WILAT) association and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT). Key topics discussed include women's empowerment and leadership, capacity building, sectoral challenges, gender bias, and career obstacles. Offering insights into gender equality and inclusive leadership, this book will interest researchers, policymakers, and professionals in aviation, rail, and maritime transport sectors"--
