Women Building Mexico Edit-a-Thon
The Edit-a-Thon #MujeresHaciendoMéxico (lit. Women Building Mexico) took place in Mexico City on March 8, 2018. This participatory campaign was carried out with the aim of increasing the number of collaborators editing the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, and the biographies of remarkable women by adding new entries or editing old ones. The call was open to civil society organizations and volunteers, who wrote and edited the profiles of outstanding female figures in the areas of science, art, literature, music, journalism, sports, communication, culture, activism, technology and entrepreneurship.
