The goal of the month-long event is to encourage more women to contribute
to Wikipedia and increase representation of articles related to women in
Wikipedia. The event aims at creating new articles, expanding the existing
stubs and translating English articles to various Indian languages.
Members are requested to start edithons in regional language Wikipedias.
