I am thrilled to invite you to join us at the WikiGap 2022 - Women, Health & Environment Wikipedia Edit-a-thon! Knowledge is power, and Wikipedia has the potential to shape our
view of the world. But there is a great imbalance when it comes to representation on Wikipedia, like in society at large. There are four times as many
articles about men as there are about women, just one of many statistics that speak to a larger gender gap.
We want to change this.
Join
us and help to close Wikipedia's gender gap by editing and creating
Wikipedia articles about Women, Health & Environment. This
is a hybrid event with in-person sessions in New York and Washington,
DC as well as a virtual session for those who wish to attend remotely.
Please bring a laptop if planning to join us in-person.
The event
is organized by Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC, the Embassy of Sweden to
the United States, Sweden’s Consulate General in New York, and the
Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations.
