| 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! |

Given the significance of a number of sporting events this summer, in July and August 2019 Women in Red is devoting two full months to women in sports, not just the competitors, players, teams and clubs but to notable female support staff, coaches, referees, managers and sponsors.
We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about sportswomen, including their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon encourages enthusiasts from around the globe to participate. 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.
