# Welcome to Women Biz 💜

Women Biz aims to empower more women in blockchain with the focus of attracting new users, we organize educational bootcamps, workshops, events and hackathons.

**The problem we are solving**

According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in Latin America the percentage of women in the technology sector is around 25%, lower than the world average of 30%. In terms of web 3 technologies, blockchain and decentralized networks, the participation of women is even lower, with estimates ranging from 5-10%.

There are several factors that contribute to the low participation of women in the technology sector in Latin America. These include the lack of networking spaces to meet people from the technological field, another reason is gender stereotypes and biases, and finally mentioning the lack of access to education and training opportunities. 

For this reason, at Women Biz our **mission** is to **connect** more **women** to the **technological ecosystem** of the web3 by holding events to **inspire**, **educate** and **encourage networking** among **women**. We also connect them with more women by generating networking networks and looking for growth opportunities.
