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.
