This is significant since good public policy work can make easier for all women around the world to have access to Wikipedia to read and edit, to have less concerns about censorship, and to protect the privacy of women who want to edit on controversial topics.

Subject: [Publicpolicy] Introducing the public policy site
To: Publicpolicy@lists.wikimedia.org


Hi all, 

We wanted to let you know about a new site that we launched to support your work on public policy and communicate how public policy affects the Wikimedia projects to advocacy groups (https://policy.wikimedia.org). The site includes position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. We hope that it will make it easier for advocacy groups to collaborate with the Wikimedia community on issues within these areas.

You can read more about the site in this blog post: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/02/new-wikimedia-public-policy-site/

Thanks, 
Yana & Stephen
