Diversity quotas entail employee attributes, such as gender and disability. At present time, some individuals are not given the opportunity to hold key positions in any industry, including the maritime and port sectors, for reasons of gender and disability, even if they are qualified. Employment and business activities have been dominated and controlled by men throughout history, as they have been considered to be the only individuals with greater possibility of holding the best and higher-paid jobs. This situation has also created unfair hiring practices in the maritime and port industries. Nevertheless, in no way can we exclude opportunities for, and participation by, men and non-disabled in employment and business activities, especially in the maritime and port industries, provided they are duly qualified. We therefore promote equality of gender and disability and consider that qualification factors are to be taken into account in hiring an individual, no matter the gender, or if the individual is disabled or not, as all individuals are equal under the law. |
