Dear all,
A quick save the date:
On *Sunday 8 March*, the International Women's Day, we are launching
the WikiGap
Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> [1] for the
second year in a row.
The aim of the challenge, which will run until 8 April, is to create and
improve articles to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of women and related
topics in as many languages as possible.
This year, we are teaming up with UN Human Rights Office. A set of articles
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/List> [2] on women
active in human rights will give bonus points, and the winner of the
challenge will get an opportunity to participate for a couple of days in
some events organised by UN Human Rights on the margins of the June session
of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The challenge is a part of the *WikiGap campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap>*, [3] co-organized by the Swedish
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wikimedia Sverige, Swedish embassies and
Wikimedia affiliates and volunteers across the world.
Sign up <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/Participants> as
a participant already now! We look forward to seeing you in the competition
:-)
Best,
*Eric Luth*
