Web3 Community Celebrates Women’s History Month in The Metaverse and Beyond
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.
Monica Talán, Founder and Contributor at Spanish-language web3 platform CryptoConexión, told Cryptonews that raising awareness for women in web3 is not just about achieving gender balance.
Rather, Talán 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,” said Talán.
This is critical, as 2023 data suggests that women hold about 26% of all jobs in the crypto industry. Statistics further show that only about 6% of the top leadership roles are held by women, with 94% of CEOs being male.
According to Talán, women make up 47% of CryptoConexión’s audience. She explained that by shifting the perspective from “believing women must adapt to web3” to “understanding that web3 must evolve to embrace women” has helped with the platform’s diversity.
Talán explained that CryptoConexión spotlighted 60 Latinas contributing to the web3 sector at the start of Women’s History Month this year.
“This list also included newcomers,” said Talán. “This effort highlights the importance of representation, aiming to inspire more Latinas to join web3 and create a more inclusive, diverse digital future.”
