Welcome toWikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turnred links intoblue 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 toHumaniki, only20.23% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed?Content gender gap is a form ofsystemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!

In January 2019, Women in Red is focusing on women in war and peace. There are opportunities here for covering both women who played a role in wartime activities and those who were anti-war activists. The topic also ties up withHolocaust Remembrance Day which is widely commemorated on 27 January.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women of war and peace, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.

• Inter-Allied Women's Conference/Suffragist Conference of the Allied Countries and the United States, opened 10 February 1919 parallel conference to theParis Peace Conference, 1919. because women were not allowed to participate in the "official" conference. It was sponsored by theFrench Union for Women's Suffrage and theNational Council of French Women (which has one sentence about it as does theLeague of Nations' article).(in Italian) and chaired byMillicent Fawcett (whose article doesn't mention the conference).[5] I find lots of material,[6],[7],[8]
