Women Rise is an art-focused NFT project that celebrates and represents women activists, artists, scientists, coders, and more through a collection of 10,000 unique digital artworks. Founded by Pakistani-American artist and author Maliha Abidi, the project aims to use art and Web 3.0 technologies to spread awareness about women’s rights and advance girls’ education. Beyond the digital art collection, Women Rise engages in various initiatives, including BackpackX—a VR educational program for marginalized communities—and Qissa, a storytelling platform amplifying diverse voices of women and girls worldwide. The project emphasizes community building and has collaborated with organizations like Girls Who Code and CAMFED to promote girls’ education and women’s empowerment.
