Its mission is to aid and encourage people to collect, develop and disseminate cultural knowledge in the public domain or under a license that allows everyone to freely use, distribute and modify that content freely. To address this, we collaborate with cultural organisations, and knowledge institutes to create and strengthen a network of champions for open knowledge.

What people say about us
Feminism and Folklore project has added to the higher growth of Dagbani Wikimedians User Group. It helps us create new articles on Dagbani culture and also improve the already existing ones.
Feminism and Folklore project enriches our local Wikipedia by providing more knowledge to people.
I think coverage of folklore, especially folklore and women, can be sparse, so it’s good to find ways to add to content, particularly in the UK where folk traditions are “less alive” than in other places.
Many folklore will be available in my language through Feminism and Folklore project. These will help my community learn about folklore.
As a user interested in Asia, Feminism and Folklore project spurs me to add more pages about this topic and bring awareness to Asian culture in Italy.
