Tackling the gender gap in STEM

At Wikiesfera, thanks to our solid feminist community committed to equality and equity of knowledge, we have been able to make visible in Wikipedia the work of women in STEM environments (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) or, by its acronym in Spanish, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). 

Through the publication of biographies and articles on Wikipedia in Spanish related to the work of these professionals, we contribute to the knowledge of female referents among childhood that can encourage the choice of these areas as professional careers. 

These activities have been framed many times within the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is held every 11 February (@11defebreroES), “in order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, in addition to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls”.

  • More than 1.200 EDITED articles.
  • Almost 10 million views on Wikipedia.
