Editatona of gypsy women #6A 2022

> Theme

Taking advantage of the International Roma Day, which takes place every 8 April, last Wednesday we dedicated a day to make relevant Roma women visible through the translation of biographies.

On this occasion, our partner Elena Ibáñez (@felixdido) was in charge of coordinating the proposal and preparing the list of articles to be translated on relevant Roma women in different areas and from different countries.
