More about this campaign

Wikipedia hosts more than 1.9 million biographies. Less than 20% of those are about women and non-binary people. Citations, pictures, and perspectives of women and non-binary people have similar gaps on Wikipedia. If Wikipedia wants to become the sum of human knowledge, this needs to change. With such a large gender gap, we are far from reaching this goal. International Women's Day is an important moment to remind ourselves of the gender gap for women and all under-represented groups and to renew our efforts to ensure representation of all people.
This page gathers several events that take place on or around International Women's Day (8 March) and Women's History Month in March 2026. Our goal for this month is to work together to close the gender gap.
New to editing Wikipedia or experienced, you can make a difference by contributing to knowledge equity on Wikipedia.
Events
Every year in the month of March, the Wikimedia movement celebrates the International Women's Day and Month with events set to decrease Wikimedia's gender gap. The events are added to this page from February, throughout March, and even after the campaign has ended. Below is an under construction table of events for 2026. Please add your Celebrate Women event to this subpage in your preferred language.
If you use the Outreach Dashboard to track your event, consider adding it to the Campaign: Celebrate Women 2026. Learn about other events in the Wikimedia movement here.
