wikinobel

This year's edition of wikinobel was an editathon about women in peace, to highlight the gender gap also among individuals working with peace. Of the 106 individuals awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, 17 are women. The event was at The Nobel Peace Center and the Swedish embassy took part as co-organizator. The Women in Red project Norway was presented by Wikimedia Norge and women nominated or awarded for the Nobel Peace Prize were presented during a talk from staff at The Nobel Peace Center. Afterwards about 20 people took part in an editathon.
