Undoubtedly, Metaverse is the internet’s next big thing. While its structure and boundaries are still being defined, it also brings forth a new string of developers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. It has a multi-sectoral reach into almost all possible industries- education, healthcare, fashion, retail, real estate, among many others.

Metaverse offers a solution as a gender-inclusive workplace for women.

Metaverse has the potential to create an alternate world, free of all existing problems in the real world. The virtual world offers remote work and education, which reduces discrimination faced in the real world based on race, gender, physical or mental disabilities, age, and even sexual orientation. We can build a world that truly reflects the diverse population and tends to their needs.

For all women, Metaverse offers a chance at being assessed solely on the basis of their talent and hard work. From childhood, girls are defined by the dimensions of place and time. We all are familiar with the phrase-‘Return before it gets dark’ or being given a curfew depending on when it gets dark since staying out till late is frowned upon. These overall constraints of time and space influence the girl and her family in choosing her school and her course, and eventually even her career.

Remote work eliminates existing obstacles for the female workforce.
In the physical world, women have to face quite a number of obstacles like lack of adequate sanitation facilities, unsafe transportation, inadequate work-life balance, sexual harassment at the workplace, and unequal pay.

Metaverse offers an opportunity to get work done remotely in their houses which eliminates the need to be physically present. New mothers face an extreme dilemma while choosing a new job or even returning to the old one, which is only overburdened with the guilt of leaving their child at home. This virtual workplace will be way different from the monotonous zoom call meetings; it offers a better digital version of communication and a feeling of being physically present in a manner more reminiscent of the offline workplace.
