African Women of web3
Despite the potential benefits of this emerging technology, women face unique challenges in the Web3 space. From lack of diversity in the industry to gender bias in funding, women encounter significant obstacles that can make it harder for them to thrive in the decentralized web. Women undergo a lot of challenges in the technological space cutting across lack of representation and high rise of imposter syndrome in technological communities.
Why we step in place
1
GENDER DISPARITY
There is a significant gender disparity in the technology field, including Web3, in Africa. Women are underrepresented in technical roles, leadership positions, and decision-making processes.
2
LIMITED ACCESS TO RESOURCES
Women in Africa often have limited access to resources such as computers, internet connectivity, and reliable electricity, which are essential for engaging with Web3 technologies.
3
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL BARRIERS
Deep-rooted cultural and social norms can act as barriers for women in Africa who wish to pursue careers or entrepreneurial opportunities in Web3.
