[Wikimedia-l] Invitation to Celebrate Women Office Hour

2024-02-12 Thread Masana Mulaudzi
TL;DR: Are you organizing activities around International Women's Day or
Women's History Month this March 2024? Did you know that there is a central
page where you can showcase your campaigns and learn about what other
Wikimedians are doing globally? Let's chat! Join the Celebrate Women
conversation hour on Monday, February 19th, 2024 at 16:30 UTC. Language
interpretation will be available - English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Hi Wikimedia Organizers,

To respond to the gender gap and create opportunities to grow content on
women and non-binary people on Wikipedia, the Gender Organizing community
in the Wikimedia Movement hosts an annual campaign every March called Celebrate
Women <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Women>. This campaign is
an important opportunity for the Wikimedia movement to engage with the work
of different communities highlighting the gender gap in each Wikimedia
project.

The WMF Campaign Programs team is supporting the movement’s efforts in this
area, working with seasoned organizers to advance coordination of efforts
to #ChangetheStats on gender in the movement.

We would like to invite you to this Celebrate Women 2024 conversation hour
to:


   -

   Share what your community is doing for this year in campaign organizing
   on the Gender Gap during International Women’s Day and beyond.
   -

   Learn about this year’s volunteer-led Central Notice banner and calendar
   and how you can give feedback on the pages.
   -

   Learn how the event registration tool
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventCenter/Registration/Instructions>
   can help improve your registration experience for newcomers joining events,
   and other exciting developments in the tools to support your campaign, like
   event invitation.
   -

   Learn about some of the work that has taken place to enhance gender
   equity in the movement of the past few months!

[Wikimedia-l] Feedback on Women's History Month Office Hour

2023-02-28 Thread Masana Mulaudzi
Hi everyone,

To respond to the gender gap and create opportunities to strengthen the
gender diverse content on Wikipedia, the Gender Organizing community in the
Wikimedia Movement hosts an annual campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Women> during International
Women’s Month. This campaign is an important opportunity for the Wikimedia
movement to engage with the work of different communities highlighting the
gender gap in each Wikimedia project.

On 16 February 2023, the Campaigns Programs team held an office hour with
Gender Organizers from across the movement. Some key highlights from the
discussion included:

   -

   An overview of the volunteer-led Central Notice banner for this year’s
   International Women’s Day campaign, with a request for translation support
   for the banner and feedback.
   -

   An overview of the new event registration tool to support gender
   organizers with an improved user-experience for newcomers joining events.
   -

   An overview of community planned campaign events surrounding gender on
   the Projects for this year’s campaign.


Participants to the event also highlighted a desire for more strategic
support in:

   -

   Ensuring an intersectional approach to gender content on the Projects,
   including facilitating gender visibility on key content areas such as
   climate and sustainability, and elevating LGBTIQ+ content to ensure that
   gender campaigning was inclusive, reflexive and expansive.


   -

   Facilitating and coordinating ongoing gender campaigning on Wikipedia,
   and other projects (like WikiData),  to ensure lively and ongoing content
   curation in this important area beyond Women’s History Month (March).
   -

   Bringing in strategic partnerships at an international, regional and
   local level to support and amplify gender campaigns on the projects e.g. a
   similar partnership to the UNHRC and #Wiki4HumanRights.


Specific Product Support requested by gender organizers in the office hour
included:

   -

   A request for an on-Wiki calendar of events that allowed participants to
   view and plan their contributions more systematically.
   -

   A request to review the Women in Red redlists
   
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index>,
   which are updated by Listeria Query service, but are not updating often any
   more. This is an issue connected to ongoing maintenance of key
   volunteer-built listbuilding tools.


You can learn more about the discussion by watching the recording here.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Women_History_Month_Conversation>

What happens Next?

As an immediate priority, there is a request for support with translating
the Central Notice <https://w.wiki/6NPg>banner, and adding planned campaign
events to the Event landing page.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Women> There is also a request
for support for updating translations of the event page itself.

During March, there is also an opportunity to share your events with the
WMF for amplification with the movement and external audiences via social
media. Have an event you’d like to share or have profiled? Get in touch
with the Campaigns team for more information.

On 15 March 2023, you are also invited to join the Wikimedia Research
Showcase, <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase> which
will be focused on gender and equity on Wikipedia. The session will feature
research presentations by Sneh Gupta, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha
University, and Jiao Sun, University of Southern California. You can join
the livestream <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw4MzJgDIzo> and ask
questions in the chat..

Lastly, look out for future announcements for how we plan to address the
identified gaps and opportunities elevated in the Office Hour.

Hi Wikimedia Organizers,

My name is Masana Mulaudzi and I recently joined the Wikimedia Foundation
as the new Senior Manager for the Campaigns Programs team. Before joining
the Wikimedia Foundation I worked extensively in the gender justice
movement across Africa, and in solidarity with feminists around the world
in economic and social justice campaigning. I am really humbled to be
joining the Movement and to learn and act in solidarity with gender
organizers in this vibrant community.
