Project Goal

Choose one or more of the following goals. You can add or delete goals as needed.

The gender gap is still visible in some wiki projects, the reason why we have the WikiGap Campaign, A+F campaign, VisibleWikiWomen, and SheSaid. This is a good start for a growing Wikiproject especially that it is in its initial stage. The earlier we supplement it with contents choosing women and feminism as subjects, the less we will rush to work with it in the future. As a support to bridge the gap in gender representation, this project will focus on:

1. Increasing and/or improving content on notable Filipino women on different Wikiquote platforms;
2. Promoting the Philippine language Wikiquote platforms under incubation (Wikisambit, Wikikawikaan) using fair gender representation;
3. Recruitment of new editors and improving skills of existing editors through a series of edit-a-thons;
4. Foster an open culture through meet-ups and include more women in the community of volunteers.
