Web3 Community Celebrates Women’s History Month in The Metaverse and Beyond

Celebrating Women’s Achievements in Web3

March has seen several web3 initiatives to recognize and spotlight women’s achievements in celebration of Women’s History Month. This annual observance, established in 1987, emphasizes the profound contributions women have made to society.

Diversity Drives Web3 Growth

Monica Talán, Founder and Contributor at Spanish-language web3 platform CryptoConexión, believes that highlighting women in the web3 sector will expand the field’s talent pool, leading to fresh perspectives and new approaches. This will create more equitable economic opportunities, build inclusive communities, and ensure that the future of technology reflects and serves the needs of all.

• Women hold about 26% of all jobs in the crypto industry
• Only about 6% of the top leadership roles are held by women
• 94% of CEOs in the crypto industry are male

Celebrating Women in The Metaverse

While spotlighting women may help encourage female participation in web3, the Metaverse has become a popular platform for women-focused events. Decentraland will showcase the art of talented women during its second annual “Art Week” and “MESHfair”.

Empowering Women in Web3

Initiatives like SheFi, Unstoppable Women of web3, HER DAO, Black Women Blockchain Council, and the Association for Women in Crypto are key in demystifying the space. Each of these platforms offers continued education, resources, and community support.

• Collaboration with communities like Cripto Curiosas, WomenBiz, WEDAO LATAM, WARMI, Mujeres en Crypto and Metagals

Upcoming Projects

Bay Backner will be hosting upcoming projects geared toward women this year, including Decentraland Gaming Week (June 2024) and The Censored Art Show (Sept 2024). Unstoppable will continue its commitment to increasing women’s involvement in web3 and tech in general.
