It’s Women’s Week at GISetc in honor of International Women’s Day which was last Friday, March 8th.  This week we are sharing maps & apps that focus on women’s rights and safety. Be sure to visit the original article to get a closer look at this phenomenal map and take a deeper look into women in government.

2-2b women in government“This map is a snapshot of women’s representation in government in early 2002. A few patterns persist across time and place: nowhere do women have equal representation with men in government.”

At GISetc.com we curate and bring you the best geography and science resources from the web. We hope our sharing will keep you up to date on the latest science and geospatial news.
