Dear all,
I trust this message finds you in good spirits.
I am thrilled to announce the launch of "She Leads," a program initiated by CIS-A2K to empower female Wikimedians to step into leadership roles and shape their ideas into meaningful activities. With "She Leads," we aim to provide unwavering support to emerging female leaders within our community.
We invite all of you to join us in fostering a culture of support and encouragement for female Wikimedians in your respective communities who exhibit leadership potential. "She Leads" is not just a one-time initiative; it marks the beginning of a journey to inspire and empower women to lead.
The support under "She Leads" commenced on March 1st and will continue until May 15th. You can find more details and updates on our Meta page, which will be regularly updated. Female Wikimedians interested in planning an activity are encouraged to visit the Meta page, where they can start writing a proposal using the provided template and respond to the questions accordingly.
