GeoGirls (or GeoChicas in spanish) is an initiative that began around the annual conference of the latin american community OpenStreetMap, the “State of the Map” (o estado de mapa en español) held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in November 2016, to carry out joint, collaboratory, and participatory projects with the goal of closing the gender gap in the OpenStreetMap community, where it’s estimated that women represent 3% of the people that collaborate globally.
