Welcome to
Women in Red (WiR)! We are a group of editors of all genders living around the world focused on reducing systemic bias in the wiki movement. We recognized a need for this work as, in October 2014, only 15.53% of English Wikipedia's biographies were about women.
[1] Founded in July 2015, WiR strives to increase the percentage, which, according to
Humaniki has reached
19.22% as of 11 April 2022. But that means that of 1,883,407 biographies, only 362,040 are about women.
[2] Not impressed? "
Content gender gap" is a form of
systemic bias, and WiR addresses it in a positive way through
shared values.
