why we do it?
- EMPOWER WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO HAVE MORE PROJECTS LED BY WOMEN AND FOCUSED ON WOMEN.
- ENLARGE THE OSM WOMEN'S NETWORK.
- HAVE MORE PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IN OSM AND TECH ACTIVITIES.
- CREATE MORE SPACES IN WHICH WE CAN DISCUSS THE ROLE, REPRESENTATION AND PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN.
- DISCUSS BETTER CODES OF CONDUCT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL.
- CREATE MORE RELEVANT GEOSPATIAL DATA FOR WOMEN
ONLY 3% OF THE OSM COMMUNITY ARE WOMEN
LOTS OF DATA

the streets of women
- The project arises around International Women's Day 2018
- It is intended to make survey information about passages, streets, avenues, roads that are named after a woman also linking it to Wikipedia to check if there is a biography written about her

the streets of women
- Script based on NODE
- TILE REDUCE library from OSM to create the GEOjson
- Local name databases from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics instead of external APIs like Genderize
- Wikidata query to extract 68,445 articles about women
@geochicasOSM
the streets of women
- Selection of cities we knew and wanted to work with using Planet OSM
- Filter only the streets of the map
- Cross-reference from the Spanish names database with the OpenStreetMap database with an 8% margin of error
- Filter streets by male or female name
- Manually cleaning any errors (streets named after flowers) and add the Wikipedia sources
- Generate the last clean data base linked to OpenStreetMap to create the Geojson file (tags and geometries) and the stats file.
- Upload the three resultant files to our Github
