Feminism ane Folklore 2026 Ghana poɔ
Feminism and Folklore is an international writing contest organized at Wikipedia annually to document folk cultures and women in folklore.
The basic aim of the competition is to collect articles on human cultural diversity in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia. This year we focus on emphasizing feminism, women biographies, and gender-focused topics within the broader theme of Wiki Loves Folklore.
Since 2019, we have added a multilingual Wikipedian contest to foster the true aspect of our global wiki loves movement.
