Gender disparities also prevail in Web3 too. The whole idea behind the open, decentralized model for the metaverse is to create a space for equal opportunity. But women builders and creators are among the minority in the highly male-dominated space. In fact, art market research firm ArtTactic noted that only 16% of NFT sales went to female artists in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53710\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16112828\/newsroom-poster-podep6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16112828\/newsroom-poster-podep6.png 1000w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16112828\/newsroom-poster-podep6-539x600.png 539w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16112828\/newsroom-poster-podep6-854x950.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How can we elevate and advance gender parity in tech and the metaverse, and celebrate the women forging innovation?
