This grant proposal seeks to support the SheSaid campaign on Gungbe Wikiquote. The SheSaid campaign aims to increase the visibility of Gungbe women's voices and perspectives on Wikimedia platforms by adding quotes from notable Gungbe women to Wikiquote. This campaign is important because it promotes diversity and inclusion in Wikimedia projects by providing a platform for Gungbe women to share their unique experiences and perspectives.
The primary change that this campaign seeks is to increase the representation of Gungbe women's voices and perspectives on Gungbe Wikiquote. There is lack of diversity in terms of gender, racial, and ethnic representation on Gungbe Wikiquote. This campaign aims to address this issue by highlighting the contributions and experiences of notable Gungbe women. Through this campaign, we hope to build a more inclusive and diverse Wikiquote that reflects the lived experiences of underrepresented groups.
The main approach of the SheSaid campaign is to crowdsource quotes from notable Gungbe women and add them to Gungbe Wikiquote. We will engage with the Gungbe-speaking community online through social media platforms and online forums to encourage them to share quotes from notable Gungbe women. We will also reach out to Gungbe women's organizations, universities, and cultural institutions to encourage participation in this campaign.
