Feminism and Folklore in Malta 2022

Celebrate International Women's Day by collaborating with Wikimedia Community Malta in closing the gender gap on Wikipedia articles in our annual Art+Feminism activity, which this year has been integrated into Feminism and Folklore to broaden community support.

As the largest non-commercial general reference work on the internet, Wikipedia is hugely popular. However only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women. Let us work together to improve coverage about women.

This is the 5th year that WCM is hosting an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Malta. No experience is required.

NOTE: you only need to do two things to participate fully:

- CREATE A WIKIPEDIA USER ACCOUNT (if you don't already have one) >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount

- Bring a laptop or wifi-enabled tablet device with you, if you have one.
