Thanks so much for sharing your comment. Gender equality in participation in Common Voice, is something we really want to improve and champion. As part of the Kiswahili Language community engagement, our team are implementing a gender action plan that includes both participation and use cases for the dataset. We hope to consult, adapt and replicate gender inclusion that has been done by community members and gender action plan to improve representation and involvement of all genders in open source projects such as Common Voice.

Hey,
Thank you for the compliment and feedback.
Following community feedback voice validation criteria is now available on Common Voice platform (released as part of the recent dataset).
This is one of many steps we are making to improve Common Voice contributors and everyone using the dataset.
