More about this campaign
Wikipedia hosts more than 1.9 million biographies. Less than 20% of those are about women and non-binary people. Citations, pictures and perspectives of women and non-binary people have similar gaps on Wikipedia. If Wikipedia wants to become the sum of human knowledge, this needs to change. With such a large gender gap, we are far from reaching this goal. International Women's Day is an important moment to remind ourselves of the gender gap for women and all under-represented groups and to renew our efforts to ensure representation of all people.
This page gathers several events that take place on or around International Women's Day (8 March) and Women's History Month in March 2025. Our goal for this month is to work together to close the gender gap.
New to editing Wikipedia or experienced, you can make a difference by contributing to knowledge equity on Wikipedia.
