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.

@openstreetmap osm is better at showing bike paths and walkways than many other maps, but it is still very much defaulting to car infrastructure. that's not very feminist if you ask me.

at least make a layer that renders any car infra as obstacles instead of routes. (yea, cyclosm is there, but it's not what i'm asking now)

@Stoori @openstreetmap even openrailwaymaps has the big streets like the german "autobahn" rendered more prominently than the train routes. :/

@Stoori OpenStreetMap is built by people like you. 🙂
Why not make such a map, or talk to others and do it together?
There is no global leadership who can decide to make it happen. It's the OSM community who does things. You can be a part of it and do it

@amapanda tell me about it. i have limited time for more hobbies. filling in streetcomplete tasks every now and then is as much as i have time and skills for.

i hope that osm was built by people not like me, ie. people who know how to do maps with computers and who have time to do that. is that too much to ask?

I’ve always believed women should be 'guides' in the most literal sense. It’s time they reclaim the maps and lead the way.

@openstreetmap I use the open street maps app for navigation. 😊

@openstreetmap Ah, so the S in OSM stands for "slop".

Got it.

@openstreetmap Oh Goodness. A Streetmap trying to be Political. I'll Avoid this at all cost.
Politics is a cancer that ruins everything it comes into contact with.
I'm happy to be a cozy frog that doesn't care about that stuff.
Being happy and comfy with my Friends is all i care about.

@RetroCozy @openstreetmap unfortunately all technology is political, i think. we can look at it and recognise it and align it with our values, and make the world a better place for more people to live in. or we can ignore it, say it’s apolitical, and the world stays the same or just gets worse

@Holly @openstreetmap I'll choose to ignore it.
As i said. I don't care about anything to do with Politics. it is a Cancer that ruins everything it touches. I'll stay being comfy and happy with my Friends.
