for the fifth year, equals celebrates the power of visibility and representation. we know that seeing someone who looks like you, thinks like you, or has overcome challenges like yours can be the spark that changes everything. this year’s role model campaign brings together 160 role models from across the netherlands, each one proof that there is no single path to success, only your path.

from tech pioneers to entrepreneurs, from corporate leaders to changemakers: these women have shaped their own definitions of success, and now they’re here to show you that you can too. over five years, we’ve showcased hundreds of inspiring role models, and the message remains the same. when you see someone who’s walked a path that speaks to you, suddenly your own dreams become more than just possibilities. they become plans.

you are the next generation of role models. #rmc2026
