The invisible to visible movement is a solidarity campaign founded by Sri Lankan actress, author, and social activist Michelle Dilhara to minimize the social invisibility and social exclusion of the people affected due to factors such as their educational status, appearance, disability, being in an orphanage , barriers to full participation in employment as senior citizens or anyone who feel marginalized or being invisible in the society.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The movement is initiated based on the sociology research and implementations discussed in the book Social Invisibility is not a Fiction it Exists.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The main focus of the movement is to regenerate the damaged Social connection by creating a hub as a collaborative platform for communication.[17][18][19][20]
