Open interview with 4 women leaders in Africa

This event will take place at 17:00 hrs on Saturday, July 21st, in room Washington

this event, I will interview 3 women who are leading work to advance Wikimedia in Africa.

Gender gaps can be found in many facets of the Wikimedia movement, which presents a variety of challenges to our mission. Therefore, it’s important to discuss the spaces in which women in Wikimedia are thriving – what can be done to build on those successes, and how can we replicate these success stories in other environments?

Our conversations will focus on women within three strategic areas of our work: Programs, Technical Spaces, and Leadership positions. The goal of these discussions is to foster understanding of challenges and inequalities that women face throughout our movement, and to engage with our communities to help better address them.

The interview will be public, and anyone is welcome to join the conversation. The interview will be recorded and available later on our YouTube channel.

This event is a follow up on the interview series held during the month of March.
