Huitaca recently participated in the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon organized by Franklin Women in Sydney! This event gathered a dedicated group of editors working to close the gender gap on Wikipedia, where fewer than 20% of biographies are about women. As part of this effort, we successfully created a Wikipedia page for the pioneering scientist Angela Restrepo, which is now available in Spanish. We're also working on an English version and have a growing list of more remarkable women in science to highlight.
During the event, we had the pleasure of speaking with Olivia Cleal from the Women’s Agenda, who wrote a powerful article about the initiative. You can read her piece here:
If you know a woman in science whose story deserves to be told, you can become a Wikipedia editor and help raise her profile. Together, we can make sure more women’s achievements are recognized!
