Image for Visibility and Representation

Visibility and Representation

Visibility refers to how prominently a group or individual is recognized and acknowledged in society, media, or specific environments, influencing awareness and perception. Representation involves having diverse and accurate portrayals of different groups within media, workplaces, and leadership, allowing individuals to see themselves reflected and valued. Both concepts are essential for fostering inclusion, understanding, and equality, as visibility draws attention, and representation ensures people’s experiences and identities are fairly and accurately depicted. Together, they help create a society where all individuals feel seen, respected, and able to participate fully.
