Abstract:

"Wikipedia for Women" is an innovative and impactful initiative launched by Wikimedia Armenia, aimed at addressing the significant informational gap concerning women and their rights on the Armenian Wikipedia. This project is not just about adding more articles; it is about ensuring that the contributions of women and issues related to women's rights are adequately represented and accessible to Armenian speakers. Implemented through panel discussions to uncover informational gaps, workshops and edit-a-thons, it educates and empowers contributors to create quality content about women.
