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 19.81% 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. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!

Welcome!

Every August, we give special attention to indigenous women from around the world. This year is no exception. Anyone can take part. We hope both new contributors and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about indigenous women in all applicable fields of interest. We also welcome articles on their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. You can of course also write articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!

Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)

In addition, we have Wikidata red-link lists on women from all the countries mentioned which can be found in the WiR redlists. The following should be particularly useful in identifying indigenous women who deserve to be covered:

Indigenous women (CS) Yupik's upgraded redlist of indigenous women Native American Women : a biographical dictionary (WD) (you can find this book on the Internet Archive)

Add other red links here, if possible with a source:

• Bernaldina José Pedro (1945–2020, died from COVID), Guyana-born Macuxi elder in Brazil, met with Pope Francis[1]
• Jenny Tone-Pah-Hote, American studies professor[2][3][4]
