Binance will organize women-focused events in Yaoundé (Cameroon), Abomey-Calavi (Benin), and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) on March 4, 2023. They will have the opportunity to connect with other blockchain enthusiasts, learn more about the role of blockchain technology in the world, and identify ways in which crypto is uniquely positioned to bring more financial equality to the world.

Basée sur le thème “ Women & Cryptos”, the events scheduled by Binance tomorrow are subdivided into three categories and will take place simultaneously at 13:00 WAT. In reality, gender disparity continues to be apparent in the blockchain industry where women's involvement and representation are significantly lower than men's. The Global Index of Cryptocurrency Users reports that of the 378 venture-backed crypto and blockchain companies founded worldwide between 2012 and 2018, only one had an all-female founding team, and only 31 (8.2%) had a combination of male and female founders.

To close the gender gap in the blockchain technology sector, it is crucial that relevant stakeholders, such as government agencies and private organizations, invest significant resources in women's education, adoption, and financial inclusion.
