🌍✨ *Happy International Women's Day* ✨🌍👩 In celebration of this important day and as part of the* Wikidata & OpenStreetMap Datathon & Mapathon *during *International Open Data Days 2025*, we are launching a special mapping initiative today to identify and document Women Police Stations in OpenStreetMap & Wikidata. 🚔👩✈️
*Women Police Stations* play a vital role in ensuring women’s safety, justice, and empowerment. Mapping them helps make crucial information more accessible to communities, supports gender-based safety initiatives with reliable open data, and strengthens OpenStreetMap and Wikidata by adding important public infrastructure data. How can you participate? - Contribute to OpenStreetMap: Create / Improve the Women Police Stations and link to Wikidata.[1] - Contribute to Wikidata: Create / Improve the Women Police Stations and link to OSM.[2] *Did you know? 🤔 * *When and where was the world's first Women Police Station established?* Map your nearest Women Police Stations to make them more accessible and visible on OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. 🌍 Best regards, *Jinoy* [1] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/Open_Data_Days_2025/Datathon [2] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Events/Open_Data_Days_2025/Mapathon *Please don’t print this e-mail unless you really need to.Every 3000 sheets consume a tree.
