An edit-a-thon or editing marathon with a gender perspective is an activity in which several people come together to create new content on Wikipedia, figthing the content gaps of the free encyclopedia and making visible the absence of articles related to historically invisible groups and topics. No previous knowledge is necessary, we will teach you everything you need to become a professional editor!
