The Wiki Àrà-Ọ̀tọ̀ – Which means unique in Yoruba – is a new campaign started by members of the Wiki Loves Women Focus Group in 2025.
It is part of the group’s new learning-by-practicing approach, developed after three years of the leadership program. The campaign works to reduce the lack of information about African women on Wikimedia platforms. It encourages people around the world to create, improve, and add content that shows the achievements of African women. The campaign focuses on adding and improving structured data about African women and their contributions on Wikidata, with the possibility of expanding to other Wikimedia projects in the future.
Throughout the year, participants from around the world are encouraged to celebrate and document the richness and uniqueness of African women, on Wikidata. Every two months, a new theme will be announced by the Wiki Loves Women Focus Group members, highlighting the contributions of African women.
