LGBTQ advocates mapping friendly spaces and HIV facilities at the 1st ('ata') LGBTQI+ Mapping Party

MapBeks is an online LGBT mapping community, based in the Philippines, that advocates for diversity inclusion and representation focused specifically for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, etc. (LGBTQI+) on OpenStreetMap.

Current Projects:

  1. Mapping in response to the impact of Super Typhoon Rolly - Response has concluded, projects were completed via the HOT Tasking Manager Projects.
  2. Mapping of LGBTQ friendly spaces in the Philippines - In an attempt to assert LGBT rights and representation, MapBeks maps out nominated LGBT safe spaces on QueerMap by qiekub. MapBeks validates the submitted places by calling space owners, and securing a memorandum of agreement to protect all individuals in any form of discrimination. The group then uploads it to OSM afterwards.
  3. HIV facilities mapping in the Philippines
  4. UNMAPPEDPH - an ongoing project that aims to map the most unmapped towns on OSM in the Philippines.
  5. MapBeks' Stories and Stories of Discrimination and Bullying - a project in partnership with Mental Health AWhereness that attempts to map out experiences related to being an LGBT.
  6. Philippine Pet Neuter Clinics Map - partnership project with Spay-Neuter-Inform Project PH (SNIP PH) to map out the location of identified neuter clinics in the Philippines
  7. Tagging of gender-neutral toilets (in-process)
