Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?
  +
Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?
  +
  +
Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.

Bring your own laptop. Snacks will be provided.

Did you know that less than 20% of biographies in English-language Wikipedia are about women? The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is working to change that and we need you to help share the stories of women who ensured the success of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and leaders in the banking industry who expanded services for women.
