There is something beautiful rising among women—we are hungry to be united and empowered to be who God created them to be. Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead Author Sheryl Sandberg champions women as capable of all that men can achieve. She also sees the value of community and empowerment of women. I applaud Sandberg for opening up the conversation.

Getty Images, the world’s leader in visual communication, and LeanIn.Org, the women’s non-profit founded by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, are celebrating one year of partnership with the anniversary of the Getty Images Lean In Collection – a curation of images devoted to the powerful depiction of women, girls and the communities who support them. Thousands of images have been licensed through the collection to over 65 countries across a wide variety of industries, with two of the biggest sectors being financial and tech organizations – industries which are actively trying to attract more women. Admire some of the most successful images globally below.

Getty Images Co-Founder and CEO Jonathan Klein said: “From the creation of Getty Images 20 years ago, we have been guided by the belief that imagery can change the world. Getty Images partnership with Sheryl Sandberg’s LeanIn.org to break down stereotypes and kill the cliché is changing the conversation about the depiction of women in visual communications and has delivered impressive bottom line results.”

“Men and women should be equally represented at the boardroom table and at the kitchen table. To get there we need reform of our policies, we need to encourage women to fulfil their ambitions and we need to encourage men to do their part in the home – but we also need to address how women and men are depicted, because you can’t be what you can’t see,” said Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, author of Lean In and founder of LeanIn.Org. “We are thrilled to be able to partner with Getty Images on this project and our shared commitment to literally repicture women, men and equality.”

The success of the partnership with Lean In has inspired Getty Images to address how other key concepts are communicated visually through the company’s RePicture movement calling for content that breaks down stereotypes and celebrates the world in its raw and authentic form. Lean in and change the status quo!
