In December 2015, Goethe Institute requested technical support from the [[أضف:الصفحة_الرئيسية|Arab Digital Expression Foundation (ADEF)]] to build a website serving as a directory for institutions and active groups working on gender and women’s issues. After discussions with participating members, the project evolved later into a knowledge database taking the form of a Wiki, not simply a directory for institutions and groups.

After a year of brainstorming and extensive work between Goethe Institute and the Arab Digital Expression Foundation (ADEF) in collaboration with gender and women’s rights organizations, individuals, and feminists researching similar topics, Wiki Gender was launched on December 2016 to start a journey of archiving, assimilating and documenting information on gender and women’s issues whether academic, artistic, or media-related.
