About the*gameHERs
The*gameHERs is the first and largest media platform, social networking community, and lifestyle brand for women who game and who work in the gaming space. The global gaming market is forecast to worth $256.97 billion by 2025 and of the 2.7 billion gamers worldwide, 46% of them are women. The majority of these women experience hate and toxicity while gaming, simply for being women. In fact, in an effort to avoid harassment, 75% of women have gamed with their voice commands off to mask they are women. Because of this, many women gamers are eager for an easy way to find other women to meet and game with based on shared experiences. With our first of its kind women-led social networking and game matchmaking web and mobile app launching this summer, coupled with our community generated content, the*gameHERs amplifies women in the gaming space and enables them to easily and safely find other women to socialize and game with. The gameHERs also host the*gameHERs Awards, professional development bootcamps, charity gaming streams, collegiate esports tournaments/chapters and other live and virtual events. These will all be migrated to the app which will truly be the hub of the entire gameHERs community.
