About the Hackathon
Welcome to the Women's Rights Hackathon, a first-of-it's-kind event that brings together diverse builders to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing women globally.

Our hackathon provides a safe and inclusive space for women to explore innovative solutions to issues such as gender-based violence, pay equity, and access to healthcare. By leveraging emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and 5G, we aim to create solutions that can make a real difference in the lives of women around the world.

Technology Tracks

5G NETWORK

5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together. Ultra low latency and increased reliability offer capabilities for improved communication and security solutions for women.

BLOCKCHAIN

The Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that allows for secure, transparent and immutable transactions. The removal of traditionally biased itermediaries promote financial inclusion, data privacy, and secure identity management solutions for women.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI enables machines to learn and perform tasks to make our lives easier. By analyzing large amounts of data (healthcare, supply-chain, etc.) AI can help identify patterns and make predictions that can be used to improve decision-making processes and outcomes for women.
