African Union launches "Correct the Map!" campaign to change the distorted representation of Africa on world maps, which significantly minimizes it.

The "Fix the Map!" campaign, initiated by the organizations Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa, aims to correct map distortions that underestimate the size of Africa, often comparing it to Greenland. The Mercator map, which has been used for centuries, distorts geographical reality, and the initiative seeks to promote the Equal Earth Map projection, which gives a more accurate picture. The campaign is not only aimed at education, but also at a fairer representation of Africa in global institutions, highlighting the geopolitical impact of the distorted perception of the continent.
