Binance To Host Blockchain Education Bootcamp For Women In Collaboration With Utiva

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 underrepresented 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 remains committed to closing the gender gap.

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.

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 begin on March 8 and end on March 14, 2022.
