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, only20.13% 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!

To coincide withWorld Health Day on 7 April, Women in Red is focusing on women in healthcare this month. We are covering healthcare in its widest sense, including doctors, nurses, midwives, medical researchers, home care workers, palliative care specialists and all others involved in the health and patient care sector.

We would like to see articles on historical figures, as well as women worldwide who have become notable recently for their contributions to COVID-19 research. See also:Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19.

We hope that both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women and their work.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are, of course, also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example toother topics of the month or our comprehensive#1day1woman priority.

Themain goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new and improved articles and images through social media and via nominations toMain Page features "Did You Know?" and "In The News".

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.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and ourTen Simple Rules may be helpful to newer editors.
• If you share any of the articles or images on social media, or successfully nominate for Main Page, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on ourRedlist index. Inclusion on a redlist does not guarantee notability, so please check before creating an article. Redlists relating to healthcare are listed below:
