Taking advantage of the World AIDS Day, which takes place every December 1, last Wednesday we dedicated a day to make visible through translations to activists, as well as organisations set up by them or of which they are members, contributing to the fight against this disease and its stigma all over the world.

On this occasion, our partner Elena Ibáñez (@felixdido) was in charge of coordinating the proposal and preparing the list of articles to be translated. In his selection, he emphasized make African activists from different countries visible, many of them promoters of initiatives that help women and girls who are victims of this pandemic.
