FII Wiki Project/Edit-a-thons/Indian Queer Feminists

On 19 November 2016, FII, Breakthrough India and Nazariya QFRG co-hosted a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on Indian Queer Feminists at Breakthrough’s Delhi office. November being Pride month in Delhi, the edit-a-thon was aimed at creating and editing wikipedia pages of Indian queer feminists who lack representation on the platform currently.

The articles were created and expanded in English and Punjabi. A report of the edit-a-thon is also documented on the FII website here. Additional statistics can been seen on the P&E dashboard here.
