🌍✊ On International Women's Day, we stand against the patriarchy that has long silenced women’s voices in tech and mapping. But today, we celebrate the women pushing back—building, coding, and creating maps for a more equal world.
The fight isn’t over, but together, we’ll map a future of justice, freedom, and inclusion. Let’s keep mapping. 💪
