OpenStreetMap

Maps shouldn’t be ruled by the patriarchy—so let’s take them back.

From colonial borders to corporate-controlled GPS, #maps have always been tools of power. #OpenStreerMap is different: open, feminist, and built by the people.

This #IWD2026, #women it's your streets, your stories, your map.

Add what’s missing. Reclaim the map. Join OpenStreetMap.

#IWD #WomensDay #Feminism

The OpenStreetMap Foundation Board has submitted a comment on the OGC's proposal to make the Overture Map Foundation's Global Entity Reference System (GERS) a standard.
