On Thursday, March 25, the Wikimedia Foundation and George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs hosted a free, virtual event about gender disparities in the media and information landscape and the collective action needed to generate solutions.
Event speakers from academia, journalism, activism, and the nonprofit sector discussed shortcomings in the information landscape (the universe of resources we turn to for knowledge) to recognize women, and how organizations, industries, and individuals can work together for change.
The event is part of Project Rewrite, a new gender equity initiative from the Wikimedia Foundation, calling attention to the persistent gender gaps on Wikipedia â the missing representation of cis and transgender women â and calling on everyone to help close them.
