Hi Wikimedia Organizers,
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.
The WMF Campaign Programs team is supporting the movement’s efforts in this
area, working with seasoned organizers to advance coordination of efforts
to #ChangetheStats on gender in the movement.
We would like to invite you to this Celebrate Women 2024 conversation hour
to:
-
Share what your community is doing for this year in campaign organizing
on the Gender Gap during International Women’s Day and beyond.
-
Learn about this year’s volunteer-led Central Notice banner and calendar
and how you can give feedback on the pages.
-
Learn how the event registration tool
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventCenter/Registration/Instructions>
can help improve your registration experience for newcomers joining events,
and other exciting developments in the tools to support your campaign, like
event invitation.
-
Learn about some of the work that has taken place to enhance gender
equity in the movement of the past few months!
