<section id="project-overview">
<h2>Project overview</h2>
<p>The Wikimedia community has long acknowledged the lack of diversity among its contributors, especially when it comes to gender. Only 10–15% of Wikipedia's editors identify as women, which signals the fact that a large pool of potential contributors has decided not to participate in editing Wikipedia. While Wikipedia aspires to represent the sum of all knowledge, this gap causes important flaws and biases in its encyclopedic content.</p>
<p>The underlying drivers of the gender gap in Wikipedia are unknown. The goal of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Voice_and_exit_in_a_voluntary_work_environment">this project</a> is to identify the potential drivers of the lack of participation by women, design and test frameworks that can address the potential causes, and through such frameworks contribute to increasing the diversity of editors in Wikipedia.</p>
