Gendergap & LGBTI+

This quarter the second and third parts of the WikiFriday triptych on resistance women followed in April and May. For the third part, on May 5 (during the Dutch Liberation Day holiday), as many as 42 participants came. Many participants were seen again during the WikiFridays on 26 May and 23 June. The WikiFriday of 23 June featured the theme of women in slavery, ahead of the Keti Koti celebration on 1 July and was organised with the collaboration of volunteers from the Wiki goes Caribbean project. An extra edit-a-thon was organised in collaboration with WIQD, an organisation for women students and scientists in quantum mechanics which attracted 20 enthusiastic participants.
