First, she talks about the importance of giving women greater access to financial resources/institutions. Here's what she says about this:
Second, she mentions how women migrant workers account for half of the remittances sent worldwide. Blockchain could make those international transfers quicker and cheaper, giving those women who are working more of the money they've earned."Women are often blocked from traditional financial services due to systemic issues like earning income in more informal sectors, lack of identification, insufficient collateral, mobility constraints and limited financial literacy. But blockchain technology – which creates identity in new ways and offers new on-ramps and exit-ramps – has new ideas to bridge the gap, and make financial services available to women and communities wherever they are. "
Finally, she discusses how blockchain could offer more ownership over their resources. And ownership equals freedom.
While I think these are some great starting points, I really feel like they're just the beginning. What other ways do you see blockchain technology having the ability to lift women out of oppressive situations? How can blockchain fuel greater gender equality in other areas besides finances?
