View source for Wiki for Minorities

== Approach == <!--T:7-->

<!--T:8-->
Historically and in certain places and times, minorities have suffered, for different reasons, [[:en:persecution|persecution]], [[:en:marginalization|marginalization]], and invisibility by groups that concentrate political and economic power. These have ranged from restrictions on the freedom of expression and worship of minority groups, the prohibition that minority groups can freely practice some of their traditions that do not mean any type of harm to the rest of the inhabitants of a country or territory, to segregation and genocides where entire groups have been executed and disappeared just for being the way they are.

<!--T:9-->
Various international organizations are working on these issues, such as [[:en:UNESCO|UNESCO]], the organization that established the [[:en:UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity|Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity]], as well as the [[:en:United Nations|United Nations]], who declared May 21 as the "[[:en:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development|World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development]]", among other initiatives; as well as the [[:en:United Nations Human Rights Council|United Nations Human Rights Council]], which establishes [<tvar name="1">https://www.ohchr.org/en/minorities</tvar> specific activities to work with minorities].

<!--T:10-->
From the wiki movement we can contribute in various ways to meet our objectives, achieving more equitable and inclusive societies that accept cultural diversity as an enriching element. For such work, concepts such as social integration, diversity, tolerance and intercultural dialogue must be basic principles.

We can divide our work into three activities:
</translate>
* <translate><!--T:12--> User visits to organizations that promote and preserve content about minorities and are in favor of free knowledge, for example some [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/GLAM</tvar>|GLAM]] institutions;</translate>
* <translate><!--T:13--> [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Edit-a-thon</tvar>|Edit-a-thons]] and [[<tvar name="2">Special:MyLanguage/Hackathon</tvar>|Hackathons]] to promote content about minorities in the different wikis;</translate>
* <translate><!--T:14--> An international [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Program guides/Photo contests</tvar>|photo contest]] and organize activities with user groups and chapters interested in participating to take and upload photographs and multimedia content within their contexts about local minorities, such as photo walks.</translate>
