In December 2023 we reached 103 members.

First training[edit]

During October, November, and December 2023 and January 2024, we carried out our First educational program designed to train women editors in content creation and improvement of Wikimedia projects. This training program was aimed at Latin American women from diverse backgrounds, both rural and urban, with different ages, professions, trades, activities, and sexual orientations. We aimed to create locally relevant and underrepresented knowledge to ensure diverse and equitable representation of the Global South in Wikimedia projects and foster an environment where all women participants could contribute their own ideas and opinions, strategically aligning them with the Wikimedia community's goals. The central impact we envisioned to counter gender inequality in Wikimedia projects in the region was to empower women to generate or enhance articles with quality content related to topics relevant to their localities and addressing the gender gap. We are interested in investing in skill development. We believe that one effective way is by training women editors in Latin America, a geographically underrepresented region, through training, mentoring, coaching, online learning, and peer support.

Goals:

Identify women interested in knowledge dissemination and invest in them to develop crucial technical and interpersonal skills for the health and growth of the movement, empower them with knowledge, and strengthen their abilities to establish new working groups.
Provide them with the knowledge and tools necessary to lead team efforts towards achieving movement goals, promoting free knowledge, and expanding Wikimedia movement presence in various locations.
Create an environment where all participants can contribute their own ideas and opinions and strategically focus them towards Wikimedia community goals.
Promote collaboration strategies with movement volunteers to create a sustainable network.
Empower underrepresented communities to increase and improve diversity within the movement by training editors and supporting organizational development and project management in underrepresented communities within Wikimedia projects.
Facilitate knowledge transfer.

The methodology was both theoretical and practical. It was an online course, conducted virtually, with a program consisting of theoretical and practical training, supported through experiential learning and based on a system of courses, workshops, and mentoring. The format involved virtual online group workshops with collaborative work.

48 women enrolled, out of which 44 attended the classes, and 40 managed to create new articles and improve many more. By the end of the training, our Facebook user group reached 278 members, and our Instagram page reached 157 followers. Our user group also grew to 105 members. Additionally, we created a channel on WhatsApp and a group on Telegram.

At the training, there were women from Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, the United States, Panama, Peru, El Salvador and Venezuela. There was a wide age range: the youngest participant was 18 years old and the oldest was 64. The women were journalists, lawyers, teachers, university students, feminist activists, psychotherapists, politicians, scientists, communicators, bloggers, writers, communications associate for an NGO, community managers, English teachers, librarians, graphic designers, art gallery managers, biologists, science education managers, and academics.

During the training, a total of 69 new articles were created, with 25 new articles on Wikipedia and 44 new articles on Wikiquote. Additionally, 42 new categories were created in total across Wikipedia, Wikiquote, and Wikimedia Commons. Furthermore, 209 pages on Wikipedia and 167 pages on Wikiquote were improved. Items were also created and improved on Wikidata, and 64 files were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

We also created the campaign Mujereando, an annual campaign that will be carried out every year with the aim of increasing the number of articles about women on Wikiquote in Spanish. All those people interested in improving and creating content on Wikiquote with famous phrases from relevant and recognized women are welcome. It is not necessary to have previous experience in editing to participate since every year we give virtual workshops to teach editing.
