Women in Politics
November 2023

Ongoing initiatives:	#1day1woman Education
Upcoming events:	Ideas

Welcome!

In November 2023, Women in Red is focusing on women in politics worldwide, not only those of historic interest but those who have become notable more recently or who are serving in our parliaments today.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women parliamentarians, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women in politics and their works
• to promote the new and improved articles and images through social media and via nominations to Main Page features "Did You Know?" and "In The News"
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram)

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you share any of the articles or images on social media, or successfully nominate for Main Page, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!
