Arte+Feminismo Pilipinas:Advokasi terhadap Pemberdayaan Perempuan
Bulan ini menandai mulainya kampanye untuk menjembatani kesenjangan gender di seluruh proyek wiki. Art and Feminism di Philippina sebagai bagian dari inisiatif ini telah secara resmi meluncurkan kampanye tahun ini di perpustakaan Raul S. Roco. Acara ini merupakan kali ketiga Filipina akan bergabung dengan kampanye internasional dan kita sedang menuju acara yang telah dirubah dan terstruktur melalui kolaborasi dengan Wiki Advocates Philippines dengan salah satu dari pemimpin yang berasal dari jaringan penyelenggara Art and Feminism. Acara pembuka dihadiri oleh dua penyelenggara dari komunitas, yaitu Imelda R. Brazal dan Anthony B. Diaz bersama dengan sukarelawan lokal. Para penyunting telah menciptakan rancangan artikel untuk Wikifundi melalaui perangkat Kiwix dan telah mempergunakan referensi dan sumber daya perpustakaan untuk mencari kutipan dari para perempuan terkenal, tidak hanya di Philipina, tetapi seluruh dunia. Sebelumnya, grup ini juga WikiAdvocates/Programs/Art and Feminism Philippines 2022/Interviewstelah mewawancarai beberapa wanita di bidang dan perjalanan berbeda untuk menjawab pertanyaan " Dimanakah kamu melihat perempuan sebagai bagian dari masyarakat?"
To quote two inspiring answers from a social activist woman and an artist:
Women, in general, have no fixed role in society. We, as women, refuse to be put in a box. We refuse to end up victimizing ourselves. It has to stop being the norm. Each and every woman has an individual journey to embark on and whatever or whoever they choose to become as long as it is not anchored on any forms of violence, they must be served respect, they must be heard, and they must be seen as human beings.
-Shanelle Escuro, Visual Artist
There's no limitation to what women can do. The truth is, we are taking the lead in different areas and this is no longer a surprise. But if a poor man is already being exploited, the greater the exploitation there is towards women. In the majority of the Philippine society that is composed of farmers, peasant women are at the forefront. We can see them in the thousands of organizations in the country, fighting for genuine agrarian reform. When it comes to workers, working women are part of the struggle for humane and sufficient wages. This is an essential role of women because the freedom of all genders is the freedom of all classes. To answer the question: a woman's place is in the struggle.

Wiki Advocates PH Art and Feminism 2022 Edit-a-thon -
Art and Feminism PH 2022 Call for Artist
In the upcoming days, a series of edit-a-thons will be conducted on two incubator projects, the Wikikawikaan and Wikisambit which are both local Wikiquote projects. An art exhibit centering on feminism and women empowerment will also be held to showcase the emerging artists to a wider community so they could also present their works to a more diverse audience. Artists will be invited to be active contributors on Wiki projects. We hope for more visibility of women in all areas of wiki projects and see them taking part in the advocacy of different Wikimedia groups in closing the gender gap.
