Statement from the Core Organizing Team & Wikimedia Foundation
*Incidents of harassment can happen regardless of gender identity. It's important not to generalize or assume that harassment is done by a specific group of people. Please adhere and refer to the Wikimedia Friendly Space Policy and Universal Code of Conduct. Per the policies, harassment of any kind, in any place, by anyone will not be tolerated at Wikimania.* *Wikimania is a trans-inclusive event and they should be afforded the same rights and access to facilities as any other person. Restrooms are open to people based on self-identification. There will also be gender neutral restrooms available.* Butch Bustria On behalf of the ESEAP Wikimania 2023 Core Organizing Team On Sat, Jun 24, 2023, 2:22 AM Mina Theofilatou <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but on behalf of a friend > who is considering attending I'd like to know about the policy on gendered > restrooms in the conference venue.
