INTERNATIONAL GENDER REPRESENTATION SURVEY ON OSM

@geochicasosm

https://geochicas.org

men commentS

• Discrimination is not based on gender

• Cultural domination of European / North American men

• Hostility by specific profile: fanatic-mapper, experimented VS novice

• No formal impediment to participate = no discrimination

• Lack of interest/participation must be respected

• Doubts on the impact in the map, of the lack of diversitY

• Attention calls about agressive tone in the channels are ignored

• Do not separate genders but do more participatory activities

• Do not victimize women, raise awareness in general

• Focus activities on diversity in general, not just gender

GENERAL COMMENTS

• Hostility is general in OSM channels, generally from high level mappers, it demotivates participation

• All genders notice specific hostility towards people asking to change the tone

• Need for moderation in channels

• Need to advocate for courtesy values in general, integration, support of the novice

• Need for integration of diversity in general, not based on gender

• Inclusive language

• Define codes of conduct

• Awareness against hierarchies
