Project Idea

Wikipedia Argentina and IIPE UNESCO decided to make a series of activities to resolve the lack of female wikipedists. For that reason we decided to do three activities during March.

The first one is a work meeting with several referents in technology and gender. In that meeting we debate around the main problems that females professionals are living in their lives.

The second idea is to do an Editatón about Gender Gap in Argentina. [2].

The third activity is to do a webinar about digital rights in Argentina.


Project goals

  • Doing a brief introduction of Wikipedia like a tool of free knowledge.
  • Generated articles in Wikipedia about gender gap.
  • Discuss the problem of gender gap in the Argentinian society.


Get Involved

We invited everyone who wants to discuss gender gaps and would like to learn how to edit in Wikipedia.
