Visible Women is an initiative whose vision is to create a world where young women can find role models and mentors in the careers they are interested in, and in turn be inspired to become leaders regardless of their ambitions and the stigma sometimes attached to male dominated industries.

Our mission is to raise aspirations through providing young women with access to mentoring, information, networking and fellowship opportunities that will be invaluable in furthering their careers. The initiative intends to identify women who are champions and role models in their respective industries in order to build a network of aspiring, emerging and pioneering women.
