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 19.86% 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. 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! |
Welcome!

In June 2018, Women in Red is focusing on women singers and songwriters from around the world. It offers a great opportunity for all our non-native English-speakers to create biographies of notable women from your own countries or language communities. Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women singers, songwriters and performers, both classical and modern, as well as their songs, musical compositions, 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.
The main goals of the event are:
