Breakthrough, a global human rights organisation that runs campaigns such as Bell Bajao, and Wikimedia Chapter (India) are conducting a Wikipedia edit-a-thon in Delhi on December 7 and 8 for editing articles pertaining to violence against women. Facebook page of the event: http://www.facebook.com/events/181325168737101
*Basic idea behind this session*: A crucial problem with several Wikipedia articles on sexual violence, especially in the Indian context, is that often there are no articles or that articles have been deleted). It would be a knowledge advocacy session to increase gender sensitive editing in Wikipedia.
The session will involve editing of articles pertaining to various aspects of violence against women in India. A list of about 10 Wikipedia articles has been drawn up for editing. The session will be live-blogged. Remote participation will be enabled through IRC channels.
The edit-a-thon is a part of the "16 days of activism against gender based violence" starting 25th November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day). This is a global campaign that aims at raising awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue. This hackathon will be mainly focussed towards data visualisation and several organisations are providing us with statistical datasets and other kinds of data including audio and video. -- Chairperson (Special Interest Group), Gender gap, Wikimedia Chapter (India)

This is a wonderfully thought of edit-a-thon. Hopefully other cities will also conduct such an event in the future. Wishing you all the best!!

I would like to see the list.
Focus on micro aggression, gender diversity and sex education would help.
I do contribute to the geek feminism wiki and would like to see the guidelines, and progress on one of the days at least.
