Importance of role models

It is well known saying that you cannot be what you do not see.

This means that people want things they know of, careers and opportunities they heard of, they are aware of. In relation to our topic this means for example that a small girl would not want to be a firefighter in Hungary, as there are no female firefighters to be seen. The lack of role models, the repetition of known stereotypical roles are limiting people’s dreams and achievements, the opportunities of our children today, whether they are boys or girls.

We believe in the role of role models, so it is an important part of our work to make the careers, the success of female leaders visible for generations to come.
