In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Marta co-organised the Fencing Peace Caravan, a project to take 21 underage Ukrainian fencers between the ages of 9 and 17 to Madrid, allowing them to study, train, and have a routine as close as possible to what they had before the war.[5][6][7]
