The project QueerWiki intends to build and maintain a wiki, create media such as podcasts, Youtube clips and hold workshops.
The wiki communicates scientific information about gender discrimination. Podcasts, video clips and workshops help to deepen the knowledge. The wiki is intended to be a reputable source of information for anyone interested in the latest knowledge on gender discrimination. Our goal is to become the world’s most important knowledge base in the field of gender discrimination.
We start with the topics of gender discrimination in health care, discrimination against non-binary and asexual/aromantic persons. In addition, hotly debated issues in the LGBTTIAQ community will be reported on to help shape public opinion from an evidence-based perspective.
It is important to us that evidence-based facts are communicated and not legends and ideology. The information on discrimination provides practical guidance. It is important to us to give an insight into current gender discrimination research, our readers get first-hand information about what is going on in research.
Bad things are happening in the health sector from a gender perspective: queer people are massively discriminated against.
The main supporter of the project is the association Beratungsstelle geschlechtliche Vielfalt e.V., Mannheim. The project is supported by the Center for Health Consumer Ethics and Evidencebased Gender Health Care Darmstadt, the Swiss association Bart-van-de-Ven-Fund, Lucerne, the German Society for Health Consumer Ethics in Darmstadt and by individuals and sponsors. It is important to us that large international companies in particular support our project and publicly declare their support.
The project staff are members/activists in the international networks of evidence-based medicine (especially the JBI, Cochrane and GRADE Working Group), the Queer Wiki team regularly publishes articles in renowned international medical and social science journals. Project languages are English and German.
