[Gendergap] Wikiproject: Editor Retention discussion on bullying

Thread: "Translating effective methods of dealing with a culture of 
bullying from other organisations"

Just been too busy with own Wikipedia contretemps to comment on this 
being a big reason women lose interest in editing.  This might be a good 
en. wikipedia wikiproject for women looking to help more women stay; or 
for other language wikipedias to start.

Re: [Gendergap] FemWiki project in Serbia

[Alex Wang]

Hi Sanja, Nikoleta, and Ana-Marija,

Great to hear you're launching a FemWiki project in Serbia!

We recently pulled together some resources for holding edit-a-thons and
editing workshops that might be helpful as you plan your events:

Definitely be sure to check out Keilana's Systemic Bias Workshop Kit:

Please be in touch if you need funding for your events. We are happy to
discuss any ideas or questions you may have, whether or not you need
funding support. You can find more information on the Project and Event
Grants Program here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG.

Excited to hear how this project develops!

Cheers,

Alex
