As we celebrate International Women's Month, we are excited to invite you to the official launch of the second edition of the Shine Her Light Writing Contest, an initiative by Open Foundation West Africa to amplify the voices and achievements of African women on Wikipedia.
This year, under the theme "Women Leading Change: Stories of Strength and Progress," we are spotlighting the remarkable contributions of African women across various sectors.
