Unstoppable WoW3 Targets Educating 6 Mln African Women on Web3, Metaverse

The Unstoppable Women of Web3 (Unstoppable WoW3), a diversity and education group, eyes to educate millions of African women on metaverse and Web3 through a five-year initiative.

Backed by its partnerships with 26 companies, including NFT Domains, Polygon Labs, Africa Women CEOs Network, and African Leadership Group, the education group seeks to teach six million women in Africa on the Web3 and metaverse over the next five years by offering educational streams, programs, learning materials, in-person events, and online courses to empower more women in the Web3 world.

The Unstoppable WoW3’s announcement came in conjunction with International Women’s Day on Tuesday, which is considered the first initiative of its kind dedicated to women in the fields of the web3 and the metaverse.

In this regard, the group’s founder, Sandy Carter, pointed to Africa’s potential in the Web3 sectors, saying: “Africa has one of the most rapidly growing Web3 sectors today, but it’s not exempt from the gender equality issues we see across the globe, and we need to make sure everyone has a seat at the table.”

Carter expressed her enthusiasm for leading this initiative to educate six million more African women on the metaverse and Web3. She pointed out that the educational programs will be available online on the Unstoppable Women of Web3 official website, adding they will be translated into Arabic, French, and Portuguese.

“Sankore 2.0, an Africa-focused blockchain community builder, will develop and organize online and physical courses on metaverse knowledge and blockchain code development to empower African women in Web3 technology. Unstoppable Women of Web3 and Unstoppable Domains will provide free Web3 domain addresses to expand access to user-owned digital identity,” she further noted.

Unstoppable WoW3 is also introducing a blockchain education stream, in partnership with Alchemy, and a collection of English and French blogs, which focus on digital identity on its website in addition to other initiatives from its partners.
