Our Manifest

According to a report published by TurkStat on March 6, 2024, 49.9% of Turkey’s population is female. Despite this, women are less than half of men in the labor force participation rate.

In many sectors, women’s participation in the labor force faces many direct or indirect obstacles. In the technology sector, data show that women find even less space.

Considering these figures, we think that the development of women in many sectors and fields should be encouraged and supported; We announce that we are more than ready to do our part in the fields of technology and blockchain. It has been repeatedly proven that the empowerment of women and girls creates a multiplier effect and accelerates economic growth and development in every field, as highlighted by Article 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals, “Gender Equality”. Istanbul Blockchain Women was established as a non-profit organization to serve this goal, to increase the presence of women in the blockchain ecosystem and to raise awareness, and continues its activities as an association.

What We Do

Events

In order to keep the ecosystem together and bring the sector together, we are trying to keep our purpose and goal in the sector alive with various events.

Building the Ecosystem

We ensure that our community participants, who have adopted the principle of constant cooperation in order to support the presence of women in the blockchain ecosystem, get to know each other with our social communication groups and regular meetings.

Increase Visibility

To be able to say "We're in!", we are using the power of our valued Press supporters and our social media channels to make our community's activities constantly visible.

Awareness

With the support and NGOs, universities and commercial organizations, we are working to create awareness and sensitivity in the community by drawing attention to the scarcity of women in the ecosystem in every possible platform.
