Dear all,
Women of India are conducting a series of edit-a-thons and meetups in
March to celebrate the International Women's day. The goal of the
month-long event is to encourage more women to contribute to Wikipedia and
increase representation of articles related to women in Wikipedia. The
co-ordination page for the event can be viewed here:

The main event will happen Nirmala Institute of Education, Altinho,Goa on
8th March 2013. This event will be followed by a series of online
edit-a-thons during which articles which are primarily of importance to
Indian women will be created. The first online edit-a-thon will last for 3
days, from 8th to 10th March 2013. There would be one edit-a-thon every
weekend.
All are invited to sign up for the event. Those who cannot make it to Goa
can join us remotely. Women, transwomen, Indians and those interested in
creating articles related to Indian women are particularly encouraged.
Interested people may sign up here:
