Project Plan

edit

The Edit-A-Thon will take place as a side event at the CSW64 (Commission on the Status of Women) at the UN in New York March 2020.

As women face severe harassment in Online communities it is important to create articles with informations and help.

The attacks on women are - other than the attacks on men - often sexist and pornographic. The violence consists of rape and death threat.

As a consequence women are less present and men take over with their interests and positions.

Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

The Edit-A-Thon will present experiences by IT-Women and show how hate speech works.

Together with the Webgrrls community we will create a supporting network to help women not to shut up, to support women in the Information Technology sector.


2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

There will be a project page to also participate online.

We will do a wikiblog, use social media and online presence of http://webgrrls.de.

It will be advertised around the UN-conference, at SAP and around the German delegation..

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes, I organized several events as well as the others who are in the team.

The German Team consists out of 4 German women.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

We will have keynote speeches by the president of the National Council of German Women’s Organizations.

Also we want Andrea Patricia Kleiman from Argentina as keyspeakerin.

Besides books and research will be provided.

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

The event will be evaluated and taken further in Germany to get these subjects more present in the German community.

Further Edit-A-Thons are planned.

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

It is a unique opportunity to do this event around the UN-delegates as I got selected for being a member in the German Governmental Delegation to represent the civil society.

All this work is voluntary. I am a teacher of information technology teaching programming to men as women do not have access to learn information technology.

In my private time I am a Wikimedian in Germany. I am trying to change the situation for women as a board member of the Information technology women network Webgrrls.de
