Hello,
The Celebrate Women 2026
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Celebrate_Women> campaign is around
the corner!
Celebrate Women <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Celebrate_Women> is
a campaign that will run from March 1 to March 31. Every year, in
celebration of International Women’s Day, Wikimedia organizers use this
campaign to list gender-related events during March and as an opportunity
to advance the achievements of the women’s rights and gender equity
movement globally.
These events create opportunities to grow content about women and
non-binary people on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. Join us!

of our ongoing commitment to gender equity and providing training for the
movement.
Training sessions:
We will host 2 sessions aimed at organizers with topics that help better
manage a Wikimedia event. The goal is to empower local gender organizers
with essential features to lead activities during this campaign.
- When? Last week of February. Stay tuned for the dates soon!
Opening session:
We will open Celebrate Women 2026 with a session to share logistical
information about how to participate in the campaign and the different
gender activities happening around the month. This will be aimed at anyone
who wants to take part in the campaign.
