Poverty battle raged on in 2022, here are four ways women are working to escape it

Description

Andrei Kwok of Monash University Malaysia says blockchain technology to empower women could prove to be “revolutionary”. 

It goes beyond just education: blockchain provides women with financial inclusion and entrepreneurial opportunities to gain independence and self-sufficiency. “It also offers small business owners affordable and efficient cross-border payments, and can help women gain access to previously unavailable finance.”

Kwok says the technology can help overcome longstanding barriers to women’s empowerment which in turn reduces household, community and national poverty.
