Jianting Zhao is an Azavea Summer of Maps fellow and is working with Crowd2Map to analyze the cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) by location in Tanzania. Azavea is an award-winning software development, analysis, and visualization firm that applies geospatial technology for civic, social, and environmental impact. The Summer of Maps is a fellowship program that connects students with GIS background with select non-profit organizations to work on spatial analysis projects.

In this “Crowdsourced Mapping to Support Sustainable Development and help prevent FGM in Rural Tanzania” project, Jianting will visualize how FGM incidents are distributed and what factors affect FGM cases.

Jianting will be presenting her work to anyone who is interested in this topic. Please join us on Zoom where you will be able to listen to the presentation and ask questions. Link will be emailed to registered participants 2 hours before the event. The presentation will be followed by a discussion and opportunity to ask questions and event will also be recorded.
