Achieving women: Breaking gender barriers with top maritime jobs

Achieving Woman
 Maritime careers had been the preserve of men for years

As Kenya joins in celebrations to mark World Maritime Day today, some women stand out because of their bravery to venture into careers that had been the preserve of men for years.

However, Rashid joined her husband Tungwa Mwaruwa in fishing. It was a major issue as she was fiercely opposed by her community.
