I am a wikipedian and code contributor of Wikimedia projects. I believe knowledge belongs everyone, should be shared and can not be controlled. I am a member of Free Software Association Turkey, defending free software, digital privacy, freedom of expression.

I care about diversity and equality for everyone as a feminist. I believe the struggle for equality is as important in digital places as in physical areas. Thus, I work on projects to close the gender gap in digital areas. I localized Women in Red project in Turkish Vikipedi and I facilitate some edit-a-thons in this scope.
