Did you know Wikipedia is one of the top ten most visited websites in the world and the source for much of the information we get from Google, Siri or Alexa? 

But with less than 19.6% of biographies on Wikipedia being about women and only 10% of editors identifying as women, the information we get suffers from serious gender bias. 

To improve the visibility of women and other under-represented groups, we have created a series of tutorial videos on how to edit Wikipedia. Structured in 10 Chapters, you will learn everything from creating an account to editing an existing page to creating a new page and looking after it.
