Free NFT, Crypto And Blockchain Domains To Be Provided To Abu Dhabi Women Via New Partnership With Unstoppable Domains

As part of the countrys continuous efforts to become the blockchain and crypto hub of the world, Access Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio) have now teamed up with Unstoppable Domains, a Web3 identity platform and NFT domain name provider, to offer free crypto domains to all women residing in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) capital.

The initiative aims to encourage more women to learn about and eventually partake in Web3, a burgeoning space where only 5% to 7% of all participants are women, and only 12% work in blockchain-oriented fields.

Women empowerment in the UAE

Women of Web3, a dominant force of disruptive female tech experts and entrepreneurs from the U.S exploring the UAE as a gateway of sorts for global expansion, recently announced the new initiative as part of a delegation visit to Abu Dhabi. Access Abu Dhabi, a Maven Global Access program powered by Adio, hosted the delegation. In a nutshell, the program aims to empower different kinds of minorities as well as women-owned businesses in a fast-growing country where women already own 50% of small and medium-sized businesses.

The initiative is also important because women and minorities have traditionally not been given the same kind of treatment and opportunities as men in the region, but the countrys current leadership looks to change all that and instill a feeling of diversity while adopting a relatively progressive attitude as it looks to attract foreign investment and workers.

As the country intensifies its efforts to transform itself into the Middle Easts crypto and blockchain hub, the UAE is ensuring that the required resources and funds are available to motivate active participation in the Web3 space by women from all communities. To that end, a key pillar of blockchain technology which has contributed to its popularity is its ability to provide access that extends beyond financial and geographical barriers that previously excluded many different groups.

Free domains as inclusion continues to be a top priority

According to Abdulla Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi, acting-director general of Adio, the collaboration with Unstoppable Domains to offer free crypto domains to all women in Abu Dhabi encapsulates the nations promise of inclusion while providing opportunities for private sector involvement in a rapidly evolving space.

Moreover, the project has the potential to be a life-changing opportunity for Abu Dhabi women to capitalize on Web3 prospects. In contrast to Web2 domains, which are leased for specified periods via third-party brokers, it provides women with a decentralized web address as well as digital identity which grants them comprehensive control over their data and information within a space that only they own.

The SVP of Unstoppable Domains and Founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3, Sandy Carter, expressed her delight that Abu Dhabi is spearheading the mission to bring Web3 opportunities to numerous women living in the Middle East.

She went on to say that giving free crypto, NFT, and blockchain domains to all of these women is indeed essential and Abu Dhabi is ensuring that women will be included in greater numbers within the overall Web3 ecosystem for future generations as well. She concluded by exclaiming that the overwhelming support from Adio and Maven Global Access demonstrates that Abu Dhabi is actively working towards building a more inclusive and decentralized future instead of just making false promises.
