The Wiki Loves Women – SheSaid project helped our community, to learn many skills in gender gap initiative in the wikimedia community. It has been an opportunty to recruiting new Women editors from Wikiloves women SheSaid.

5. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities? This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences? (required)

The event's campaign schedule had to be modified and readjusted to the funding delay. Another thing, we thought about getting more women to participate in Wiki Loves Women activities, but many of the women recruited did not continue to give their contributions to the event. We hope, however, that the women who have committed themselves will be beneficial in the future to help recruit other women to contribute to Wikimedia projects.

6. What is your plan to share your project learnings and results with other community members? If you have already done it, describe how. (required)
