Commitment to LGBT+ participants

Commitment from the Wikimedia Foundation to LGBT+ participants

The Wikimedia Foundation in its role supporting the community organizers of the annual Wikimania global conference affirms its December 2020 commitment of support for LGBT+ volunteers. Specifically, the staff supporting each year's Core Organizing Team will make available to them educational and planning resources to encourage efforts to support both in-person and virtual LGBT+ attendees. Additionally, when advisable according to the guidance of the Foundation’s human rights team, the Foundation will facilitate discussions between the Core Organizing Team and local government officials to address the safety of participants, and between the Core Organizing Team and the Wikimedia LGBT+ affiliate to address any other needs identified for LGBT+ participants.

We recognize that no host city can perfectly address all concerns, and will work with the Core Organizing Team and Wikimedia LGBT+ to identify and communicate potential risks which cannot be offset. Finally, the Foundation will also continue "being vigilant that incidents where individuals are targeted for identity factors are properly recognized and addressed in our Trust & Safety systems."

The Wikimedia Foundation invites community organizers and entities to join our commitment and document their commitments and ideas for supporting LGBT+ participants of Wikimania and other community organized events.
