Women in GIS

Women in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) refers to the increasing participation and leadership of women within the field of spatial data analysis, mapping, and geographic technology. GIS professionals use specialized software to analyze location-based data, helping to solve complex problems in areas like urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. Promoting women in GIS aims to foster diversity, bring varied perspectives, and address gender disparities in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Recognizing women’s contributions enhances innovation and ensures more inclusive, equitable approaches to geographic science and its applications.
