The political scientist and activist Mentxu Ramilo Araujo will receive the 2025 Emakunde Prize for her contribution to women's free knowledge and digital empowerment
Mentxu Ramilo Araujo , a political scientist, researcher and publicist gasteiztarra, will receive the 2025 Emakunde Prizefor Equality for her "contribution for more than two decades to equality and feminism" and her contribution to women's free knowledge and digital empowerment.
Emakunde's director, Mira Elgarresta, announced today at the headquarters of Emakunde the election, which was attended by the laureate, in which the jury has explained that Ramilo has stressed that he creates his "transformative awareness" through the projects he promotes because "it combines education, visibility and collective action."
In fact, it highlights training for women's literacy and digital empowerment to reduce gender digital gaps and turn access to information into a capacity for action.
Ramilo, among others, promoted the WikiEmakume project, which has just turned 10, to provide Wikipedia with referential women and editors, as well as feminist content, "thereby reducing gender gaps through free knowledge and correcting women's invisibility in digital culture."
The jury also appreciates the work of the Politology on the political participation of women and acknowledges that its work has served to "transform the way organizations design policies with a gender perspective and make local decisions".
Mentxu Ramilo himself has thanked the 2025 Emakunde Prize for encouraging more people to create, release and share knowledge with open licences in free deposits. "This award may serve to raise awareness of the importance of documenting the contributions of many women who have become invisible throughout history," he said.
The award reminds people and groups on Wikipedia who collaborate on volunteer projects, with the Trans-Alpine Refugees and the Iberian Network of Communes. "We will continue to discover vital stories that encourage and inspire us to work for the common good and social justice."
