Priding itself as a community celebrating representation, inclusivity and equal opportunity, World of Women (WoW) offers a series of some 10,000 NFT profile pictures (known as PFPs) of influential female figures hand-drawn by Middle Eastern artist Yam Karkai.

WoW, which launched in July 2021, has plenty of celebrity backing. It is partnering with US actress and producer Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine to bring NFTs into film and TV as well launch a live event focused on educating women about the sphere. It has also collaborated with singers Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Madonna to create PFPs. Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, has been representing WoW since January—a sign of more exciting entertainment endeavours to come.

The NFT project is also active in charitable causes, donating to the likes of Too Young to Wed, an international organisation fighting child marriages; and She’s the First, a New York-based non-profit that supports the education of girls around the world.
