Last Wednesday, December 1, near the annual celebration of the #25N International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, at the Centro Polivalente ‘Abogados de Atocha’ in Torrejón de Ardoz, the Association of Widows of Torrejón de Ardoz organized an editatona dedicated to women musicians and inventors to make visible the absence of content related to them in Wikipedia.

This activity was the second editatona carried out with the Association of Widows of Torrejón, who had already participated in another Wikipedia Marathon on STEM Women in 2019.
