[Apologies for cross-posting] 

Hello,

A few weeks ago, we shared the upcoming Celebrate Women 2026 campaign. Now, we want to use this opportunity to talk about its Welcome Session and some materials we put together.

Celebrate Women is a campaign that runs from March 1st to 31st. Every year, in celebration of International Women’s Day, Wikimedia organizers use this campaign to list gender-related events happening during the month.

💻 How to participate

To take part, check this page for all events. Register for them individually by choosing those that suit your interests. More events will be added to the page in the next few days and weeks. 

And don't forget to register here (using the registration at the top of the page) to keep track of information relevant to the overall campaign.

⭐ Welcome session

Kick off the Celebrate Women campaign with us! This session will share logistical information on how to participate, highlight different gender activities happening throughout the month, and discuss the Wikimedia gender community and its milestones.

- Date: March 5 (Thursday)
- Time: 13:00-14:00 UTC (check your timezone here)
- Registrations: here
- Live interpretation: French, Spanish, and Portuguese

This will be aimed at anyone who wants to take part in the campaign.

📚 New materials

We are happy to share that we published a Diff post about the campaign. Please share it with your networks: Celebrate Women* 2026 is coming!

And we also created a press toolkit for gender organizers who might want to contact journalists and media outlets, and need quick access to stories, materials, numbers and facts about Wikimedia + Gender in one place.

Join us for Celebrate Women 2026 and help us make the Wikimedia movement and projects more equitable!

Best,

Giovanna
