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

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

These activities have been framed many times within the\u00a0International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/a><\/strong>, which is held every\u00a011 February<\/a>\u00a0(@11defebreroES<\/a>),\u00a0\u201cin 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\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
