VTM at the Women in Transport conference
Our colleague Isabel Pimenta participated today in the 1st conference in Portugal on Women in Transport, organized by AMT – the Portuguese Mobility and Transport Authority -, presenting the VTM study “Employment and gender inequalities: Towards a more cohesive and gender-neutral transport sector in Portugal”.
The event included two panels, the first alluding to women leadership, with the testimony of eight women leaders in different areas of the transport sector, and the second panel dedicated to sharing experiences from seven less common female operational positions in the sector.
VTM marked the International Women’s Day, raising awareness and supporting the cause with a substancial delegation of members of the team at this inspiring event.
