[edit]The goal of #Descitationsetdesfemmes is to highlight the writings of women authors from Benin in particular and Africa in general. The aim is to reduce the gender bias of the Wikimedia Foundation's projects. The #Descitationsetdesfemmes will bring together 10 participants. These women will highlight books and quotes from women authors. It will take place in 2 phases: the first will be dedicated to training participants on how to contribute and edit on Wikipedia. The second phase will consist of the main part of the work: writing and referencing the quotes from the books of these women authors on Wikiquote. The work will last 12 days, only on Saturdays from May 14th 2022 to July 30th 2022.
