Hi Wikimedia Organizers, 

My name is Masana Mulaudzi and I recently joined the Wikimedia Foundation as the new Senior Manager for the Campaigns Programs team. Before joining the Wikimedia Foundation I worked extensively in the gender justice movement across Africa, and in solidarity with feminists around the world in economic and social justice campaigning. I am really humbled to be joining the Movement and to learn and act in solidarity with gender organizers in this vibrant community.

To respond to the gender gap and create opportunities to strengthen the gender diverse content on Wikipedia, the Gender Organizing community in the Wikimedia Movement hosts an annual campaign during International Women’s Month. This campaign is an important opportunity for the Wikimedia movement to engage with the work of different communities highlighting the gender gap in each Wikimedia project.

We invite you to a conversation hour!

For this reason (and many more), we are excited to invite you to a Campaigns Programs Office Hour on Gender Organizing as a Wikimedians. Here, I hope to listen to your experiences of gender organizing across the WikiProjects and share some exciting tools that we’ve developed to support your work! Join this conversation hour to: 

• Share what your community is doing in campaign organizing on the Gender Gap during International Women’s Day and beyond.

• Learn about this year’s volunteer-led Central Notice banner and central calendar and how you can give feedback on the pages.

• Learn how the new event registration tool can help improve your registration experience for newcomers joining events.

Please join the Office Hour to connect and share.
