Another very delayed post! 
It took me 
months to write about HOT Community Working Group's #InternationalWomensDay 
and #OpenMappingWomenAwards 
2024 initiatives. I just need to write it! It's one of my favorite things I get to do with HOT CommunityWG. 
I hope that we continue celebrating and recognizing women in our community!

Key highlights:
We gathered and amplified 10 community events through the IWD 2024 OSM wikipage, and
-recognized 70 women and 33 communities and projects through the HOT Community WG’s Open Mapping Women Awards 2024.
- 
women champions shared their journey, reflections, challenges and hope for the open mapping community: Carrol Chan, Bafamodei Hopeful, Chisom Okwuchi, Rabina Poudyal & Sandra Hernández

#OMWA2024 was inspired by the @sotmasia 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 
Of’course, this would not also be possible without the brains 
and heart 
of the wonder HOT Community WG, & the amazing 
women in our #openmapping community.
Thanks as well to my 
DEI Champion beb, Mikko Tamura, for instilling in me that why don’t we recognize every nominations? There may be some unsung heroines or leaders we don’t know globally or have just one nomination, but their impact goes beyond that.
