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.
