Context
[edit]March 8 marks the annual celebration of International Women’s Day, and an opportunity to advance the achievements of the women’s rights and gender equity movement globally. This seminal international holiday also coincides with Women’s History Month in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
To respond to the gender gap and create opportunities to grow content on women and non-binary people on Wikipedia, the Gender Organizing community in the Wikimedia Movement hosts an annual campaign every March called Celebrate Women. This campaign is an important opportunity for the Wikimedia movement to engage with the work of different communities highlighting the gender gap in each Wikimedia project.
The Wikimedia Foundation Campaign Programs team is supporting the Wikimedia movement’s efforts in this area, working with seasoned organizers to advance coordination of efforts to #ChangetheStats on gender.
We would like to invite you to this Celebrate Women 2024 conversation hour to:
- Share what your community is doing for this year in campaign organizing on the Gender Gap during International Women’s Day and beyond.
- Learn about this year’s volunteer-led Central Notice banner and calendar and how you can give feedback on the pages.
- Learn how the event registration tool can help improve your registration experience for newcomers joining events, and other exciting developments in the tools to support your campaign, like event invitation.
- Learn about some of the work that has taken place to enhance gender equity in the movement of the past few months!
See you there!
