The Australian Women in Religion Wikipedia Project commenced in 2019 as a collaborative initiative of the University of Divinity. Kerrie Burn leads this project and Australia's contribution to the international 1000 Women in Religion Project. Both initiatives are working to address knowledge and gender gaps on Wikipedia. Currently, only about 19% of biographical articles on Wikipedia are about women and only about 10% of Wiki editors are women. The project will help address this bias by bringing to light the often under-recognised work of women who have made significant contributions to the world's religious and spiritual traditions.
