Web 3.0 will be a new version of the internet where everyone will own their data. Many developers are coming forward to participate in this movement. However, the gender diversity in Web 3.0 is not very good. Currently, the ratio of men to women in Web 3 is very high.
Diversity in Web 3
Web 3.0 aims to decentralize the internet by promoting equality among users. However, this condition does not hold while comparing the number of men to the number of women in the crypto space. If we ask you to tell us the name of any 5 men who are present in the Web 3.0 space, you can quickly tell that. However, if we ask you to name 3 women from the Web 3.0 space, you wouldn’t be able to do that.
That’s the issue with the diversity of Web 3.0. This is quite demotivating for women trying to enter the Web 3.0 space. Therefore there is a need to promote women in the Web 3.0 space.
The change is happening now, and many women have stepped forward to join the Web 3.0 movement. Here is a list of some women who are representing themselves in Web 3.0

Diversity is needed in all fields of life. Similarly, Web 3.0 also needs to correct the absurd ratio of men and women. Ultimately, we can say that females should also participate in the Web 3.0 movement and support other ladies to do the same.
