Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

En juillet 2015, nous avons crée á Mexico le projet "Women in Red" (Femmes en rouge, ce qui désigne les titres d'articles qui manquent encore). En mai 2016, cette initiative devient le WikiProject le plus populaire de la version anglaise de Wikipédia. En novembre 2016, Women in Red est présélectionné pour le prix GEM-TECH de l'UIT en catégorie "Applications de la technologie pour l'autonomisation de la femme et l'inclusion numérique". Notre présentation abordera:

  1. L'utilisation de la technologie dans ce contexte
  2. Notre approche "zone neutre", qui sauvegarde nos pages discussion et les protège contre tout harcèlement
  3. La planification et la coordination de nos travaux
  4. Nos services et ambitions inter-wiki
  5. Notre appel aux médias sociaux: Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook
  6. Appui de la presse, y compris podcasting, interviews, OpEd
  7. Transfert de notre approche vers onze autres versions linguistiques de Wikipédia
  8. Participation à différentes campagnes internationales, par example UN Women HerStory et BBC100Women
