Abstract
Denizcilik sektörü erkek egemen bir sektördür ve cinsiyet farklılıklarından doğan sorunlar sektörde görev yapan kadınları olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle denizcilik sektöründe hem kadınların yaşadıkları sorunların çözümüne yardımcı olabilecek, hem de sektörde görev yapan kadınların sayıca artmalarını sağlayabilecek etkin bir farklılıkların yönetimi uygulamasına gerek vardır. Farklılıkların yönetimine ilişkin tutarlı ve iyi planlanmış uygulamalar kadınlar için uygun fiziki şartların oluşmasını sağlamakla kalmayacak, onların erkek-egemen bir ortamda ve bir gemide bulunmalarından kaynaklanabilecek sorunlarını gidermeye de yardımcı olacaktır. Böylelikle kadınlar hem potansiyellerini tam olarak kullanabilecekler hem de sektörde uzun ömürlü olabileceklerdir. Bu nedenle farklıların yönetimine ilişkin tüm stratejiler incelenmeli ve denizcilik sektöründe cinsiyet farkından doğan sorunları gidermede en etkin olabilecekler tespit edilerek uygulamaya sokulmalıdır. Bu çalışma, denizcilik sektöründe böyle bir uygulamaya olan ihtiyacı vurgulayan teorik bir çalışmadır. Önerilen stratejilerin uygulanmasından doğabilecek sonuçların incelenmesi sonraki araştırmaların konusu olacaktır.

Abstract
Maritime sector is made up of male-dominated workplaces exposing some problems on women deriving from gender differences. For this reason, it requires efficient diversity management practices which not only help the prevention of unjust treatment for women but also encourage them to participate in the sector as much as possible. A coherent and well-planned diversity management will both provide appropriate physical conditions for women and satisfy their mental demands. As a result, conditions enabling women in maritime sector to work in proper circumstances will help them realize their full potential and serve in the sector for a long time. Because of this, diversity management strategies should be examined and those meeting the demands of the sector should be applied to get better and long terms results. In this paper, the necessity for a good diversity management in maritime is proved by figures and diversity management strategies that seemed to enhance the women in maritime sector are discussed. This study is a theoretical one regarding the appropriate diversity management strategies for the women in maritime. Analysing the results of the application of these strategies to real situations is the subject of further studies.
