Portraits of the actresses of the project:
Sara Ruiz Moradillo, Wind Engineer
Every year, March 8 celebrates International Women's Day.
Ailes Marines , in this context, wanted to highlight the women who work
every day to advance the project.
Focus on their journeys, their missions and their daily motivations.
What is your background ?
I was a structural engineer in charge of design and construction on infrastructure projects ( bridges, tunnels, etc.) of onshore wind farms and I finally decided to take the plunge into the world of offshore wind power .
How long have you been working on the project?
I have been working on the project for 8 months.
What is your part ?
My main mission is to control the design of the wind turbines and combine it with the different installations (transition pieces, underwater cables) and with the future elements that will be included, such as the bird detection system, maintenance system …
This design represents the culmination of what will be manufactured and installed in the next stage.
What do you like most about your mission?
I particularly enjoy working on something abstract at the start, on paper, and having the opportunity and pleasure of seeing it come together . It’s a real satisfaction .
If you had to describe your mission in 3 words?
To illustrate my activity, I would use the words Design, Communication and Thoroughness.
Why did you enter the
Marine Renewable Energy sector?
I find that the Marine Renewable Energy is an extremely interesting field. Indeed, it offers us many opportunities on a daily basis. In addition, I would say that it is a real satisfaction to work with the objective of building a better world .
Women's rights: the fight against inequalities
A real social issue, the fight against inequalities continually continues its fight.
For more than 40 years, the United Nations has placed this cause at the heart of its sustainable development goals , stating that " Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, it is also a foundation necessary for the establishment of a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
In order to become aware of the key figures revolving around this theme, an assessment is drawn up each year in order to monitor the progress linked to this fight, as well as the challenges that remain, on a global scale.
As a reminder
Among the notable advances of recent decades, we report:
- More girls in school
- Fewer girls forced into early marriage
- More women in leadership positions or a place in parliament
- Laws and reforms intended to advance gender equality
Despite this progress, many challenges still remain:
- Persistent discriminatory laws and social norms
- The underrepresentation of women at all levels of political power
- The rate of women having suffered physical or sexual violence
Together, let's continue to fight against inequalities.
