Hi everyone,
Our researcher for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Wiki Loves Monuments has completed her report, which is now available on Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/DEI_research_2022/Final_report and besides in English also available in Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Brazilian-Portuguese, Chinese Mandarin, French, Hausa, Hindi, Spanish, Urdu, and isiZulu. A blogpost on the topic has been published on our own website wikilovesmonuments.org https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/inclusive-storytelling-through-photographs-role-of-wiki-loves-monuments/ and also on the WMF blog site Diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/11/10/inclusive-storytelling-through-photographs-role-of-wiki-loves-monuments/.
The research is now finished. The international team will use these outcomes to improve DEI in our photo competition in general, and as one of the tools to develop a multi-year strategy for WLM in the upcoming year.
A big thank you for the ones who were willing to take the time to talk to Mesha, to proofread the reports, and to provide overall input for the research.
Best, Ciell
