Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!

Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.97% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!

Celebrating Nigerian Women in Entertainment

From 20 September to 19 October, an article writing contest on Nigerian Women in Entertainment is being run by Wikimedia User Group Nigeria. See the contest page here. Women in Red fully supports this initiative and encourages your participation. See the list of red-linked Nigerian Women in Entertainment for guidance.
