What is (In)Visible Women?

(In)visible Women NYC is a non-profit organization based in the United Nations International School in Manhattan. Our organization started in October 2017. It is run and operated by high school students who have a passion for bettering our community, specifically those who feel that we cannot turn a blind eye to the disadvantaged homeless women around us. "We are centered around helping homeless women in the New York community. Here, thousands of women suffer from homelessness. From job discrimination to lack of affordable housing to child care, women in unstable living conditions face so many challenges. These issues make the everyday life of homeless women immensely difficult and we are committed to providing them with the necessities to help them adjust to shelter life and look to a brighter, safer future. In addition, we strive to prevent readmission into the New York shelter system, as this is a cause for overcrowding among other issues. We host fundraisers, including public storytelling events, bake sales, and raffles, and use those proceeds to help meet the needs of a local transitional women's shelter, The Dwelling Place. "
