WikiWomenCamp 2023 (October 19-22) will be bringing together individuals who identify themselves as women from different countries of the Wikimedia movement, leaders of their respective communities and with strong experience and proven engagement with the gendergap topic. This year's theme for the conference in New Delhi, India, is "Map Up, Rise Up".
The proposal was presented during Wikimania-Stockholm in 2019. The initial proposal was designed and grant request was submitted in 2020. The event could not be organized because of the Covid pandemic. This event is re-initiation of the same proposal with fresh review of current status, challenges, and needs.
Goals of the camp
We intend to provide an enriching experience and quality information, ideas and collaboration for participants to explore in the future. We are committed to bringing women from diverse backgrounds to join the three day program encompassing keynotes, presentations, workshops and discussions, focused on the roles and future of women in the movement along with a primary focus to bridge the gender gap. As gender gap is one of the identified priorities, this platform will help us plan the necessary actions and support required to expand the ongoing initiatives.
We hope to have a broad representation from around the world, with many experiences to be shared. As the mentorship really had a positive impact on Indian Women Wikimedians post “Wiki Women for Women Wellbeing” and “Women Train the Trainer” program, we wish to facilitate connections and mentorship opportunities for collaboration between the movement leaders with similar or complementary programs across the globe. This is expected to create a strong network of women across the globe and will also help in designing more impactful, mutually beneficial and multifaceted activities or programs.
From the pre-covid survey results, we could clearly see the expectations of the communities as there was a clear majority of preference to subjects like Gender gap in editor representation, leadership and online content. Along with this the other preferred areas of interest were editor (women) recruitment and retention, actions to combat harassment and creating efficient and responsive support groups. We will also offer Advance Wiki training like, evaluation of a program outcome, survey analysis, tools, etc.
That survey highlighted the common issues faced by Women Wikimedians across the globe, it necessitates the change in action plan. The statistics of the survey support planning and designing the future activities as per the Wikimedia – 2030 Movement Strategy Process.
We wish to create a group of like-minded people from diverse backgrounds and expertise, of people within the Wikimedia movement and other aligned organizations, who can learn from each other and not limiting the event to discussions merely on experiences, achievements and issues, but also to brainstorm for future by focusing on how we can expand the scope by designing new activities and action plan to reduce the gender gap in the content and movement.
