March 8, 2022 — Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem, and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, remains committed to closing the gender gap within the industry. For International Women’s Month, Binance is hosting an 8-week bootcamp in collaboration with Utiva, to equip women with blockchain education, tools, and skills.
As a whole, the blockchain industry is creating new opportunities for Africans with many being brought out of poverty, acquiring skills, getting employed, and accessing financial systems not previously available to them. However, women remain disproportionately under-represented in the industry with 95% of crypto users being male according to Global Crypto User Index and women making up only 15% of bitcoin traders according to a report on Business Insider. Binance continues to aid in solving this problem.
The 8-week program will kick off on March 26, 2022, at Utiva, Ikeja, Lagos, and will be a hybrid event combining both physical and online events. Registration for the event will end on March 16, 2022.
