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
