As the Web3 era continues to expand, corporations are exploring opportunities to incorporate gender diversity in the metaverse. Abu Dhabi took a large step towards doing just that in early June.

ADIO Acting Director Eng Abdulla Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi stressed the importance of expanding gender diversity in Web3, stating, “By supporting initiatives that invite and uplift women, we can champion diversity early in the Web3 era.”
This initiative will given women complete ownership over their data, compared to Web2 domains which are controlled by third-party brokers.
The campaign was announced during a visit to Abu Dhabi by the “Unstoppable Women of Web3”, an organization dedicated to driving diversity and education for women in the metaverse.
SVP of Unstoppable Domains and Founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3 Sandy Carter expressed excitement for the future of women in Web3 with this move.
“Providing free crypto, NFT and blockchain domains to all women in Abu Dhabi is a power move that ensures women will be included in increasing numbers within the fabric of the Web3 movement for generations to come,” Carter said.
