Wiki Loves Women She Said is a campaign aimed at bridging gender gap and amplifying the voices of women gender. I as a woman especially living in aboriginal Hausa Land, have experienced the first hand discrimination created by culture against women. Women are deprived of there rights to speak up their minds. The choices are already chosen for them without even there consents. They are not entitle to some political and social privileges like men. Among other countless reasons. I see this campaign as an opportunity for women to feel appreciated on Wikimedia (Wikiquote) where there voices will be heard. Also, the She Said campaign (previously organised ) may not propagate to every portion of the country, perhaps due to time and space limitations. We will use this opportunity to create more awareness and bring more female editors to Wikimedia.

The aim of this project is to create more awareness about the She Said - Wiki Loves Women campaign in Hausa native localities and thereby add up to the number of female editors on wiki. This will be achieved through the following strategies/activities i) Online awareness: we will use social media platforms especially Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp in reaching out to participants ii) offline awareness: we will visit target audience and popular places with banners and share flyers for the She Said Campaign. iii) Training and workshop: we will organise a 2days training on the goals of She Said Campaign and the need for more women participation on Wikimedia as well as how to edit Hausa Wikiquote iv) Follow-up and newbee retainment: we will create strategies for retaining new editors by adding them to existing groups on social media, handling their complains, creating quiz and competitions that will spur participation.
