24th January - Women protests map
I created a map highlighting women-led protests against NRC/NPR/CAA in India. Featured in Behan Box article. I tried Datawrapper map this time which turned out to be easy to use. Data can have multiple entries for a single city/state combination. Using addresses to map in Datawrapper will only retain the latest entry for a city/state that has multiple entries. Using Latitude/Longitude is a better option to address it.
