The WikiWomen Advisory Council* is thrilled to announce the reopening of the nomination process for the WikiWomen Taskforce*! This extension, until December 10th, 2024 , is an opportunity to ensure regional representation, language diversity, gender and sexual orientation inclusion, and ability diversity within the Taskforce.
Our goal is to form a team of skilled and experienced individuals committed to advancing gender equity and closing the gender gap in Wikimedia projects.
Overview of the Taskforce
The WikiWomen Taskforce will consist of up to 13 members, ensuring a balanced group for effective and efficient collaboration. We are looking for a mix of individual volunteers and affiliate volunteers who represent diverse regions, languages, gender identities, and abilities. The Taskforce will include representatives from emerging and established communities, spanning different Wiki projects, roles, and perspectives.
To encourage regional perspectives, the Taskforce aims to include at least one representative from each of the following 8 regions:
- Middle East and North Africa (MENA) - Sub-Saharan Africa - South Asia (SA) - East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP) - Latin America and The Caribbean (LAC) - United States and Canada - Northern and Western Europe - Central and Eastern Europe and *Central Asia (CEECA)
