Sharing and mapping on OSM focused on women as agents of development and answer the question: What happens when women map?
“I recognized OSM as a venue to empower local knowledge.”
“Maps are useful to locate facilities for operations especially in the far-flung areas.”
“Women's perspectives matter. Inclusive mapping may bolster inclusiveness in political, social, and economic areas. It can be a tool for public participation and hopefully, democratization.”
