From the GeoFem event with @IICAnews in Costa Rica, peer mentor, Alexandra, shared her desire to be a voice for women and increase access to geospatial information. #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen Learn more about GeoFem here: servirglobal.net/news/geofem…
I'd like to be a voice for the women in my community and in other communities who don't have access to geospatial information. I want to let people know that this technology exists, and they can use it to make decisions.
