Maliha noticed the explosion of NFTs and decided to seize the opportunity for the greater good. As an women\u2019s rights activist, she is using her project to take gender equality to a new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-women-rise-nfts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Women_Rise_NFTs\"><\/span>What are Women Rise NFTs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women Rise NFTs is a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs that are randomly generated by a code. It represents female artists, activists, scientists and so on. For example, Malala Yusafzai, the iconic Pakistani education advocate and the world&#8217;s youngest Nobel Prize laureate, is one such rare NFTs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftcalendar.io\/storage\/uploads\/events\/2021\/10\/YpXAk5iuodan3X4h0vThVZuXJw5DfTm72tdZ0n9S.jpg\" alt=\"Women Rise \u2013 NFT Calendar\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign has a goal to bring on 100,000 women to the crypto and blockchain industry by the end of 2022. Maliha wishes to bridge the gap between men and women in this space. In the US, more than 2\/3rds of crypto investors are men according to a survey by CNBC. Whereas in India, only around 15-20% of investors are women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-launch-on-rarible\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Launch_on_Rarible\"><\/span>Launch on Rarible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women Rise partnered up with the very popular NFT platform, Rarible, for the launch.
