 Women's organizations & conferences: May 2017



 Welcome!

Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from May 1 to 31, 2017, on Women's organizations & conferences.

The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. The main goals of the event are:
 * to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
 * to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
 * to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
 * to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

Focus and lists of red links
The objective is to create or improve articles on women's organizations, clubs, non-profits, and other groups formed by and/or for women. The other objective is to improve articles on notable conferences that women have created and hosted.
