FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin In an exclusive interview to SAFETY4SEA, the newly elected President of WISTA Norway, Capt. Jaquelyn Burton, EMBA, AFNI, emphasizes that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is not solely a gender issue—it’s about transforming industry structures, expectations, and mindsets to foster real progress. Capt. Jaquelyn Burton underscores the importance of embracing cultural shifts that involve everyone. She notes that men must actively participate in the conversation as advocates, not bystanders. “We can’t normalize inclusion for women without also normalizing emotional expression and caregiving roles for men. That’s what a balanced future looks like,” she says, calling for a more human-centered approach to career development within the maritime industry.
