Taking advantage of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is held every 11 February, last Friday from 5 pm we dedicated a day from Wikiesfera to make visible on Wikipedia, by creating and translating articles, the Biographies of STEM Women (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this international day in 2015. The goal is that women and girls achieve access to, and full and equal participation in, the various spaces of science, where there is a large gender gap. Since that same year, Wikiesfera periodically carries out activities to meet and give visibility to scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians from Spain and other countries:
