Understanding women’s success in eSports in the MENA region
summary
Study maps how women actually reach top roles in MMEA esports by interviewing practitioners across the region and testing hypotheses about skills, education, environment and identity. Prior studies show 48% of gamers are women but less than 5% become pros and nearly 90% of esports scholarships go to men, so the project recruits women from national teams and Women in Games Ambassadors to conduct qualitative interviews (targeting 5–10 participants per selected country) and report concrete enablers and barriers.
