DESCRIPTION:This talk analyses how gender inequality shapes OpenStreetMap'
 s (OSM) tagging proposal process\, revealing that diversity gaps intensify
  at higher participation levels. Maps are never neutral — their makers' 
 demographics determine whose realities are represented or silenced. System
 atically analysing every tagging proposals and votes since its creation us
 ing a purpose-built R package\, we found that 59 prolific\, mostly Europea
 n and North American male users dominate proposal approval\, while feminis
 ed proposals are underrepresented and disproportionately opposed. These fi
 ndings confirm that structural inequities persist regardless of how well-d
 esigned\, flexible and well-intended technologies may be.
