Twitch has outlined its plans for Women’s History Month, where the streaming service will spotlight “hundreds of Women Creators on the Women’s History Month Shelf.”
In a recent blog post, Twitch has detailed the various plans it has for Women’s History Month. Firstly, on International Women’s Day (March 8), Twitch will be retweeting “as many people as we can who shout out Women Creators who make Twitch what it is.” For those who want to get involved in this, you just need to tweet out #ItsNotTwitchWithout, tag a creator you like, and write a few words about their channel.
As well as this, the company has highlighted some events centered around women that are occurring throughout the month as well. The Frame Fatales, Games Done Quick’s all women speedrunning community, will be “celebrating women in gaming, comradery, and friendship with the Game of the Month Mini Marathon,” on March 26 and 27.
Last year, the Twitch Women’s Alliance pilot program was trialled to help empower “partners who are women, non-binary, or belong to marginalised genders, through initiatives that increase representation on Twitch, educational and social programs, and a dedicated support network.” And in celebration of the one year anniversary, every member of the will be featured on the Women’s History Month Shelf on the front page.
