COVID 19: Health and Gender Campaign

You are invited to a campaign to improve COVID-19 information on Wikipedia in collaboration with UNFPA, the United Nations Populations Fund. They have prepared several messages and resources to use in the COVID-19 pandemic, relating specifically to how the pandemic affects women's health. The Health and Gender campaign aims to make use of these resources, to make sure that Wikipedia in various languages have good quality, up to date updated information.



When contributing to this project please add #covidgap to the edit summary so we can measure the impact of the work.
