A Wikipedia edit-a-thon dedicated to creating and enriching articles related to Women.
The Wikimedia Community User Group Cyprus, is organizing a Wikipedia edit-a-thon as part of their activities for "International Women's Day." The event is held under the auspices of the Commissioner for Gender Equality, Ms. Josie Christodoulou and is supported by the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, the Girls in STEAM Academy and the WICZ+ Foundation.
Wikipedia is the world’s largest online encyclopedia, yet its content and contributors remain overwhelmingly male. Studies show that only 20% of biographical articles focus on women across major language editions.
This in-person gathering aims to amplify the voices and contributions of women from diverse backgrounds on the world's largest online encyclopedia. Through interactive workshops and engaging discussions, we will explore ways to increase representation and improve content related to women and cultural diversity.
Whether you're a seasoned editor or new to Wikipedia, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and make a difference.
