Virtual Editatona of LGBT People #22J

> Theme

Taking advantage of the International LGBT Pride Day, which is held every 28 June, last Wednesday from 6 pm we dedicated from Wikiesfera, and in coordination with Medialab Slaughterhouse (@medialabMM), a day to make visible on Wikipedia, by creating and translating articles, articles and biographies of LGBT people from different areas.

On this occasion, we dedicate our efforts to the creation and translation of articles from other languages into Spanish Many important profiles that were already created on the English Wikipedia were missing. Although there are still many biographies to be created and translated, we did a great job of making these women and men visible, referents in many areas, in the free encyclopedia.

> Guest

As in each editatona, we invite an expert in the subject that we are going to deal with. On this occasion, we have the consultant Marta Herraiz, founder of LesWorking (@lesnetworking), and Co-Director General of REDI, Business Network for LGBTI Diversity and Inclusion, which spoke to us about the situation of lesbian women and their double invisibility in today's society.
