Activism, Cyberfeminism, ProgrammingAbstract
Considering the need to strengthen the political strategies articulated by cyber- feminism, which currently faces certain barriers due to processes such as mass surveillance and the intensification of digital violence against social minorities, this study investigates a new model of cyberactivism aimed at developing fou- ndational technological resources and promoting digital literacy among women and social minorities. In light of this, the present article seeks to address the following research problem: to what extent can the new cyberfeminist experien- ces currently underway in Brazil reframe gender activism and outline strategies to achieve equality between men and women, as established by the Federal Cons- titution? To this end, the study adopts a deductive approach, based on biblio- graphic research and case study, as well as primary and secondary data analysis techniques. It concludes that the challenges facing cyberfeminism extend far beyond the realm of the internet, constituting a systemic issue. Only by overco- ming this scenario — and devising new alternatives — can the possibilities of gender activism truly be expanded.
