We develop human-centered diversity strategies for companies.
About Us
We dream of a (work) world where power is distributed fairly and it doesn't matter whether you're female, male, or non-binary. A working world that doesn't discriminate against anyone based on (social) background, age, sexuality, skin color, religion, or disability.
But because dreaming alone isn't enough, and the current job market is still full of prejudices, discriminations, and power imbalances, it requires work. Tackling this work, that's our mission.
Who We Are
IN-VISIBLE was established with the aim of making academic insights from Gender Studies applicable and tangible within professional environments. Our team comprises twelve international members who contribute their diverse interdisciplinary skills and personal backgrounds.
Each individual within our team brings together academic, professional, and community-based perspectives on gender equality. Together, we are driven by a common mission to address the disadvantage faced by women and marginalised groups in the workplace. In pursuit of this mission, we are grounded in a network of skilled trainers and consultants.
