Wikipedia is the most influential source of information in the world, but did you know that 91% of Wikipedia’s writers are male? And 84% of its biographies are on men?*

And did you also know that YOU can do something about this?!

Editing Wikipedia is easy, interesting, fun and is an active way to ensure women’s knowledge, perspectives and history is available to everyone – not just now, but for the future as well.

Come join us at our very first Wikipedia Women of Christchurch writing get-together – we want to get more women involved in Wikipedia, and more content about and by women added to the encyclopaedia.

If you can't make it but want to stay updated about future events, sign up to our newsletter by clicking here.
