Wikiproyecto Mujeres y Salud

¡Welcome to the Mujer y Salud Project page on Wikipedia! This initiative joins the WikiProject Women's Health with the purpose of identifying and reducing the knowledge gaps related to women's health on Wikipedia, primarily in Spanish, Catalan, Galician, and Basque.

Main objectives

Identify and map knowledge gaps  

• Analyze the existing content on Wikipedia related to women's health.
• Compare Wikipedia content with academic literature and glossaries to find missing topics.

Improve and expand content on women's health

• Improve existing articles and create new ones based on identified gaps. 
• Focus on high-priority topics like menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, etc.
• Identify and correct content bias.

Engage the community through events 

• Organize Wikipedia editing events, including in-person sessions.
• Train new editors and experts in women's health.  
• Encourage ongoing collaboration to maintain and expand coverage on women's health on Wikipedia..

Team

he team consists of health specialists, such as doctors, midwives, nurses, psychologists, and pharmacists, who will review and contribute relevant information to validate the content of each entry being worked on. The group will be coordinated by a women's health expert, project coordinator at RedCAPS, and a Wikipedia editing expert with experience in the gender gap.
