Women in Leadership[edit]

  • In your personal journey as a Wikimedian, have you ever encountered any boundaries?
  • Thinking about the project you led, what made you feel empowered to do it?
  • As a woman contributing to this movement, is there anything in this context (Wikiverse), that makes you feel empowered to act, that you don’t find in other contexts where you live?
  • Did you or do you have a mentor? Is there someone that you feel like you have learned a lot from? Is there anyone that made you feel empowered to step into this organizing role?
  • Do you feel like Wikipedia’s policies and written rules describe the way you work with others on everyday life?
  • Between 2013 and 2017, we’ve noticed more women stepping into leadership positions across Wikimedia organizations: the percentage of female representatives grew from 20% to 27% in that time frame. How did this change come to be? What do you think made this possible?
  • As you know, in our movement we share good practices, experiences and activities across the globe, which results in a lot of replication and imitation. Do you remember a time when you were inspired by others? What steps did you take to affect change?
  • What traits would you like to see more of among leaders and organizers in this movement?
