Few Women are contributors on Wikipedia space,and women are underrepresented on media space. This project seeks to profile women in Media, creating Wikipedia pages for women on our local languages,thereby increasing visibility and readership.

This project is an in person event open for anyone interested in increasing the visibility of woman in Media. We will implement the Wikimedia foundation Universal Code of Conduct and Friendly Space policy for the Safety of our participants.
