Digital activism Sample Clauses

Digital activism. The Internet plays an enormous part in feminist activism today. According to a survey of 1300 feminists carried out by Xxxxxxx and Xxxx, 70 per cent agreed that ‘the Internet has been instrumental to today’s feminist movement’ (2013: 15) and the argument that the Internet in itself has led to a fourth wave of feminism in the 2000s is one that is put forward by a number of social commentators (Xxxxx 2013). What has emerged from the findings of this study is that the Internet has enabled feminists, especially those just starting out, to try out feminist activism and to call out and challenge sexism and misogyny from a safe place. Blogging and creating and writing for e-zines emerged as one of the first activities in which respondents in this sample were involved, with most using online platforms such as Tumblr and Wordpress. Apart from using the Internet to challenge sexism, many respondents also used it to meet like-minded people, to discuss feminist issues and find out about campaigns. This involvement enabled them to move from indoor ‘keyboard activism’ to outdoor street politics and action in campaign groups. For example, one young woman met people online with whom she set up the campaign for consent (against poor sex education in schools which generally side-steps the issue of consent and taking part in sex against one’s will) and became involved in the ‘No More Page 3’ campaign. She explained: And as I got more involved in online communities and things, they started, I started coming across feminist events. I went to like the ‘Women of the World’ festival, this past February. And obviously like UK Feminista summer school. So, by going to those places I’ve got to talk to people, which is really nice. (Xxxxxxx) Another young woman moved from blogging and talking to feminists online to becoming a member of a community feminist group. The Internet is also used extensively for actions such as petitioning decision makers, taking opinion soundings and mobilising activists over particular issues. This has been done very effectively through online campaigns such as the ‘The Everyday Sexism Project’, ‘No More Page 3’, ‘Lose the Lads’ Mags and the campaign launched by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxx in favour of retaining at least one female image on UK bank notes.
