A company in Afghanistan is breaking paradigms and trying to empower women in the country, not only through education, but also by providing some economic independence using cryptocurrencies.
Code To Inspire (CTI), a non-profit organization that aims to teach Afghan women to code, has recently announced that it will begin paying at Ethereum those students who detect software failures and correct vulnerabilities of companies or projects Web. For this, it has partnered with The Bounties Network, a platform specialized in transactions with ETH.
Fereshteh Forough, director of CTI, told CoinDesk: "Personally I think it's good to have digital literacy or financial education, knowledge, especially for women in Afghanistan who are limited to access a lot of financial resources, like banks".
Afghan women are not only limited by cultural or religious issues; they must also confront terrorism. The Taliban are an extremist Islamic group that follows an orthodox doctrine of how an authentic Muslim is supposed to be, which does not accept interpretations or "debauchery". Their commitment to "convert" the rest of the population according to their beliefs, has led them to take violent actions, claiming the lives of hundreds of people.
CTI is helping digital currencies to be incorporated into the Arab country; and although the process may seem slow, the possibility that cryptocurrency sarafis may become popular in the future, and the adoption of digital assets become easier, can not be ruled out.
Finally, it is important to keep in mind the words of the director Forough about the future of the country:
"There are girls in Afghanistan who know how to code. And they will change the future of Afghanistan, their country, by simply acceding to this knowledge of the 21st century. "
Leaving a bit of context I want to leave a message for all followers of @detodito, and is that this user will now be managed by a group of university students of social communication career, who will leave their knowledge in each post for the taste of all the Steemians. We hope it will be a change for the better and we will achieve many positive things for the whole community. Without further ado, your support will be very important to be able to continue with our project.
