Hi Michal and Tsipi,

Thank you for sharing this news, sad as it is. Would you be OK with my sharing your email broadly, to remind people of the value of being observant for people who are experiencing personal difficulties and offering them assistance, including professional resources, in situations where that might be helpful?

Thanks,

Pine

Dear friends,

We're sorry to inform you that user:DanVag chose to end her life last week. User:Danveg was an active editor in HEWK and contributed mostly in the subject of gender and transgender issues. She was also an active volunteer in TLV Wikiwomen group. She guided newbies at Wikiwomen meetups with a lot of patience and kindness. 

As she was part of the transgender community, we urge you to consider editing articles about transgender issues in her memory. Please add  the articles you edited to this page. 

Thank you,
 
Tsipi Erann, Wikiwomen group
