Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!

Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.81% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!

Celebrating the Wikipedia and United Nations Women Project

Between 12 July and 12 August 2016, Women in Red is focusing on creating new articles and improving existing articles in support of m:Wikipedia and UN Women Project, which itself is being supported by the United Nations Empower Women program. Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles regarding women, such as the works they created. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. There are some suggested areas of focus, but you are free to create any articles within the scope of Women in Red and add them to the Outcomes list.
