Facebook page of the event: > http://www.facebook.com/events/181325168737101 > > Basic idea behind this session: A crucial problem with several Wikipedia > articles on sexual violence, especially in the Indian context, is that often > there are no articles or that articles have been deleted. It would be a > knowledge advocacy session to increase gender sensitive editing in Wikipedia. > > The session will involve editing of articles pertaining to various aspects of > violence against women in India. A list of about 10 Wikipedia articles has > been drawn up for editing. The session will be live-blogged. Remote > participation will be enabled through IRC channels. > > The edit-a-thon is a part of the "16 days of activism against gender based > violence" starting 25th November (International Day for the Elimination of > Violence against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day). This > is a global campaign that aims at raising awareness about gender-based > violence as a human rights issue. This hackathon will be mainly focussed > towards data visualisation and several organisations are providing us with > statistical datasets and other kinds of data including audio and video. > -- > Chairperson (Special Interest Group), Gender gap, > Wikimedia Chapter (India) > > _______________________________________________ > Gendergap mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
