Wikimedia Gender Disparity Awareness Campaign
Many women around the world are passionate about the Feminism movement. When presented with the shocking statistic that so few of their gender are Wikimedia authors, they will want to rectify it.
Awareness is the key to the solution of this problem.

- Lack of awareness or ignorance or misperception of the "gender gap" may be one of the reasons why relatively few women contribute. Before actually launching a campaign to rectify this, I'd make sure that it actually is a problem, see Grants:IdeaLab/Survey_women_who_don't_contribute. Rainer (talk) 23:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
