For the second year, and in collaboration with Wikimedia CH, Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group is organzing the second Write For the Rights editathon in Tunis from the 19th to the 22nd of March 2020, where participants will create, improve and translate content on the different Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikitionay, etc) related to human rights and diversity. This year, we will try to focus on the feminism and Queer heritage in Africa and the Arab world, a topic that is not enough covered yet on Wikipedia. Not only that, participants will get the opportunity to meet with some local activists and participate in queer activities happening simultaneously in Tunis.
To participate, we invite you till this form by the 31st of January 2020. Please note that submitting does not guarantee you a spot, as we have a limited number of spots and financial resources. Accepted applicants will get a scholarship that will cover all their local expenses during the editathon, and also flight tickets for some.
P.S: Only the organizer and the Wikimedia CH staff will have access to the data that you will provide throught this form.
