Taking advantage of the International Working Women's Day, which is held every 8 February, last Wednesday from 5 p.m. we dedicated a day from Wikiesfera to make visible on Wikipedia, by translating articles, the biographies of women pacifists and peace activists. To prepare the list of the women we wanted to create, we used a framework article also from the English Wikipedia: List of women pacifists and peace activists, the introduction to which reads as follows:

Women have been active in peace movements since at least the 19th century. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, many women's organizations became involved in peace activities. In 1915, the Hague International Women's Congress brought together representatives of women's associations from several countries, which led to the creation of the Women's International League for Peace and FreedomThis, in turn, led to the creation of national delegations that continued their work in the 1920s and 1930s. After World War II, European women were again involved in peace initiatives, especially in the aftermath of the Cold War, while from the 1960s the Vietnam War aroused renewed interest in the United States.

This event also served us to celebrate the 7 years of the first editatona that we organize in Medialab Prado: Editing together to make ourselves visible on Wikipedia.
