Knowledge equity

Let’s refresh!

Knowledge equity is a concept in social change expanding what is valued as knowledge and how communities may have been excluded from this discourse through imbalanced structures of power and privilege. The Wikimedia movement wants to strive to counteract structural inequalities to ensure a just representation of knowledge and people in the movement.
