# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Women in Tech | The Edit-A-Thon
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Oct, 2018 at 08:30 am – Sat, 13 Oct, 2018 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Wikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world. But did you know that only 17% of wikipedia’s bios were about women? Part of the reason is simple: more than 80% of Wikipedia contributors are...men.

Take an example: the computer programmers category lists 180 profiles, of whom fewer than 10 are women. But history hasn’t been documented well: a lot of women have contributed to shaping the internet as we know it today.

On 13 October 2018, BeCentral will be hosting a full day edit-a-thon to document wikipedia with Women in Technology.
