Gender Gap in Wikipedia    

• In Wikimedia projects case, when we talk about “Gender Gap” we are referring to the difference in numbers between male and female editors. Only a 10% of the people editing wikipedia are women and this strong gender breach leaves an unavoidable fingerprint in its content. If the biographies and concepts are edited by people that are not concerned about the importance of gender perspective, an important and grave gender bias appears.
• All the graphs and studies continuously show us easily the gender breach with respect to contentː Gender breach http://tools.dicare.org/gaps/gender.php (green-orange graphs). The annual report fron the WMF from 2016 shows that only a 13% of biographies are about women.

Causes

• The Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner cited nine reasons why women don't edit Wikipedia, culled from comments by female Wikipedia editors:
  1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface
  2. Not having enough free time
  3. A lack of self-confidence
  4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars
  5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted
  6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic
  7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting
  8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender
  9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone

What can we do to solve it?

1. Example The Art & Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
2. Weekly control of the increase on women biographies (WH-GI)
