Challenge Area:
Economic Empowerment

Problem Statement:
Women in rural areas face barriers to accessing loans due to lack of credit history transparency.

Solution Concept:
A blockchain-based credit scoring system using a permissioned ledger (e.g., Corda) to record microtransactions and repayment history. Data preprocessing ensures privacy-compliant inputs.

Expected Impact:
Enables 20,000+ women to access loans, boosting entrepreneurship by 10%.

Next Steps:
Develop a PoC with Corda, simulate transaction data, and create maintenance manuals.

Challenge Area:
Economic empowerment for women

Problem Statement:
Women in developing regions often face barriers to financial independence due to lack of access to secure banking and property rights.

Solution Concept:
A blockchain-based platform for tokenized property rights, enabling women to securely own and trade assets (e.g., land, livestock). Smart contracts enforce ownership and transfer rules.

Expected Impact:
Promotes economic independence, reduces gender-based asset disparities, and supports women’s entrepreneurship.

Next Steps:
Build a PoC with a tokenized asset registry on a blockchain like Polygon, including a mobile app for asset management.
