Writing Women back in History Through Wikipedia's "Knowledge is Her" Campaign

In honor of IWD2025, we delve into the Wikimedia Foundation’s “Knowledge is Human, Knowledge is Her” campaign—a bold initiative aimed at enhancing gender equity on Wikipedia and beyond.

We’re excited to feature two remarkable voices: Carol Mwaura from Nairobi, Kenya and Goodness Ignatius from Awka, Nigeria.

They share their personal journeys as Wikipedia editors, the memorable moments that have defined their careers, and their insights on why representation in digital knowledge spaces matters.

Through their stories, learn how they are working to close the gender gap and write women back into history. Tune in, be inspired, and join us in celebrating the power of inclusivity and African voices in tech.
