Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying the few days left in 2019.
I am glad to share with you some good news to end this year with. Applications are now
open here for scholarships to participate in the 3rd edition of Write for the Rights
editathon, and the second one in Tunis, from the 19th to the 22nd of March 2020.
Write for the Rights is a 3 days editathon during which wikimedians gather to enrich
content related to human rights on the different Wikimedia projects, and participate in
local events related to the theme of human rights happening simultaneously.
This year, and like last year, participants will get the opportunity to participate in the
different activities of the Mawjoudin Queer Film Festival, visit some local institutions
working on Human rights, and meet with some local activists to know more about their
work.
This year's editathon main theme will be "The history of Feminism and Queer
communities in African and Arab countries", with a focus on the local non-binary
systems of these countries.
For more information about last year's editions where we focused on "Sexual
education and queer activism in Africa and Arab countries" in Tunis and "Queer
communities and right to migration" in Marseille, you can check the meta page here.
If you have any question or remark, you can reach out to me directly on meta, here or
throught kawayashu(a)gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing as much as possible of you next march :D
Thanks,
