Definition
What does WACF mean?
- Women and children first
- "Women and children first", known to a lesser extent as the Birkenhead Drill, is a code of conduct dating from 1852, whereby the lives of women and children were to be saved first in a life-threatening situation, typically abandoning ship, when survival resources such as lifeboats were limited. However, it has no basis in maritime law.
