INTERNATIONAL GENDER REPRESENTATION SURVEY ON OSM

Women commentS
-
The sexist tone in the channels demotivates their participation
-
Women feel a systematic target of discrimination in the channels
-
Attention calls are usually attacked (if they are women)
-
The expression of experience is not accepted, women are considered as novice
-
We need to define codes, sanctions, reporting mechanisms
-
Specific calls to empower women
-
Promotion of women networks and spaces, to empowerment
-
Peer-to-peer training
-
Attention to mapping-projects issues with impact on women
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
