Dear all,
From 8 March to 8 April, the second edition of the WikiGap Challenge
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> took place. The
WikiGap Challenge is a challenge aiming to create or improve articles about
women on Wikipedia. It is a part of the WikiGap campaign, organized by
Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Swedish
embassies and Wikimedia affiliates across the world. This year, we teamed
up with the UN Human Rights office, who proposed a list of 20 women human
rights defenders <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/List>
that had no Wikipedia articles (or in only a very few languages). These
articles gave bonus points in the challenge.
It took some extra time this year to finalize the results from the WikiGap
Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge>, but now
we’re done! And I must confess that we are quite happy with the results.

We can now also announce that the winner of the WikiGap Challenge this

the month. You can read more on his motivation and engagement in a piece on

Andriy gets to visit the UN Human Rights office in Geneva when the world
so permits, as the first prize. Congrats, Andriy!
