| 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 only20.29% 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 February 2026, Women in Red is once again focusing on Black women in conjunction withBlack History Month. In this connection, we welcome the collaborative efforts ofWikiProject Black Lives Matter.
We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about Black women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards.
