Contribute/Women

Two kinds of gender gap exist within the Wikimedia projects: a content gender gap (meaning that more men than women are covered in the content of the Wikimedia projects) and a participation gender gap (meaning that more men than women contribute to develop the Wikimedia projects). Wikimedia Canada has both kinds as its priorities. This page aims at helping to reduce the content gender gap by listing missing and incomplete content about women and nonbinary people in Canada on Wikimedia projects.

Contribute about women in Canada

Edit, improve and create content on Wikimedia projects about women and non binary people in Canada.
