===================================================================================================
Hi Everyone,
March 8 marks the annual celebration of International Women’s Day
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day>, and an
opportunity to advance the achievements of the women’s rights and gender
equity movement globally. This seminal international holiday also coincides
with Women’s History Month
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_History_Month> in the United States,
the United Kingdom and Australia.
To respond to the gender gap and create opportunities to grow content on
women and non-binary people on Wikipedia, the Gender Organizing community
in the Wikimedia Movement hosts an annual campaign every March called Celebrate
Women <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Women>. 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.
In line with our ongoing commitment to gender equity, this year the
Wikimedia Foundation is supporting the movement’s efforts in this area, by
providing a space for volunteers working on gender to share knowledge,
access training and celebrate together.
