SheSaid Kenya Campaign 2021 campaign is aimed at recognizing women in the society whose achievements are hidden in the shadows. It is also aimed at increasing the visibility of Kenyan women by making use of Wikiquote to highlight their achievements and varied contributions to society. There will be a team of Kenyan Wikipedians working together to ensure the success of the campaign.
