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 :-)
