ah, changing your profile picture to honor cause online petitions and hashtags. the internet and social media in particular are highly useful for gathering supporters and raising awareness. studies show this goes beyond so called collectivism from black life matter to me to more and more social movements that spark online are leading to real social change. many of these protests are led by women who all to often become targets of online hate and even receive death threats. many kids fighting anyway, like the young police sion a fearless hernandez from argentina. look at what i can do is to stop being the victim from now on. i'm going to be their enemy. i'm going to say the things they don't want to hear it, but i can definitely hon. they can edit my videos, all they want and spread fake news like let from now on. i'm in the driver's seat,

but, and i'm saying what i think even that a shuttle wanted to other women who are just as determined in their fight for change are must the elena john from iran. and tatiana corbett from bella. ruth alexander lucas jenko was once again sworn in as president of belo ruth in 2020 after he declared a landslide victory. but many saw the elections as rig tatyana quote about, and her team provided evidence for the vote. rigging, on the go, los platform with a colleague of pacific that we went through them, there was election truly, typically roger report and shared it around the world. the e u. u. s. and ls c e. have all said lucas. shank, as presidency is not legitimate and more than a 1000000 voters registered on the go los platform and uploaded their ballots. the results officially announced could thus be compared with the votes actually cast lee's machine up and you might have thought ride for listen,

don't we understood them a internet gave us power at the city to it. it was, it provides protection for bella ruffian, society of austin, of lena, kentucky. and you can quickly and easily exchange information and connect with people the students for some abusing india for bella. russian opponents, like tatiana, quote about technology is an important tool in their fight for political change. protests are also moving online and other countries like iran, massey, elena john to uses the power of her 7000000 social media followers to fight for women's rights and iran. from her exile in new york, she posts photos and videos of iranian women defying the countries compulsory had job law images. these women share with her despite the dangers this entails. the reason i say made a new law in saying that if anyone, some videos to massey, elena underwood would charge after 10 years for isn't that didn't, were they trying to like scare people to censor them? like immediate, the i got mom, martin,

my videos from people saying that i rather go to prison than kit silent. a strong stand against censorship. the protest movement has reached a worldwide audience. that's the achievement of the campaign. now the regime is scared of went to china corbett and marcia lena jack, both had to go into exile. there were no longer safe in their respective homelands because they stood up for their beliefs and spoke truth to power. but how did they manage to build such successful online competes aimed to protect opponents and repressive regimes, such as the one in bella? ruth, online anonymity is crucial. the team behind the goals platform thus used encryption from the very beginning. they see it as a necessary security measure. it get threats of wallace and press one registration, nogales takes place through chatted, glancing messengers, telegram and find that last night. but then we'll stop. so it's absolutely say that

because of all people have to give us in terms of data is a phone number which is encrypted. and if for fruit, even our developers can't access the registered phone number in that i still, if one of the biggest in the wallison so far this system has worked, nobody has been arrested for uploading their voting ballot to the platform. hashtags are a great tool for gathering supporters for a given cause. they work especially well on social media and search engines. massey, elena, john, has created several successful hash tag campaigns. first, i launched a campaign called white wednesdays. it means that every wednesday women unveiled in public, which is a punishable crime. i launched another campaign which is called my camera is my weapon. it means when the government harassed you or bully, you, you have your camera, you can expose them. and the regime is as scared of this campaign, because this is how people are gaining. they voice

hashtags can lead to powerful movements like in latin america where people have been highlighting the widespread violence against women using the hash tag, neat una manels, which translates roughly to not one woman less. the ongoing protests have let to women quotas and equal gender opportunity legislation. and in argentina, abortions were legalized and 2020. it changed that athena fernandez, had long fought for me from instagram to the boon as iris city legislature. the internet helped the senior fernandez gate to where she is when she was 18. a clip of her speaking out brought her online fame. and remember what, now we are against this reform because it will, but it no, no korea. in a moment i was really glad at the time that the clip went viral as we were trying to achieve something that we did. but i thought it would quickly die down. i'm li

moment daniel. the craziest thing for me was when i realized it kept going in the, in the yes in the isn't in today, she has around 1000000 father was on social media. she skillfully uses her online presence to campaign for more liberal abortion goals, community. and we all know that secret abortions happen and that they are dead. the socially disadvantage women and trends men die had digital activism helped to bring about the legalization of abortion and argentina in 2020. it was her 1st launch sco, political success and or philip at mann. this was just 20 years old when the law was approved. but impressive as these women are, their success can come with downsides. women who stand up for their convictions on line often become targets for hate speech, mostly by men. as mina drew dea amnesty, international researcher on technology and human rights. summarize it like this. the internet can be

a frightening and toxic place for women. it's no secret that massage any and abuse or thriving on social media platforms. when it comes to female journalists, a study by the international women's media foundation found that a 3rd have actually considered quitting their jobs because of all on harassment and threats. female politicians also know online hate all to well large antennae in politician or fella. fernandez is often targeted online to the point that she says being insulted or threatened has become a daily experience for her mother. someone wrong. if you are a stupid idiot, a horde of men should rape and dismember you, but you are so ugly. no one would touch you, your mother was a whore. working almost exclusively online during the pandemic. it's become harder for her to ignore these threats that mean that and they managed to damage my confidence in it. and fiona, facing up by the horrible things they said got to me and the danville in on on. i

think when i became really paranoid about, and i can see eminent, many women who take a public stance, suffer similar targeting. for some the danger they face forces them to change their lives. belo russian tatyana quarterback and iranian marcia lynette john had to leave their homes because they feared state repression and even an exile. they are not safe. my life has changed significantly. they went after my family, they integrated my mother with my brother in prison for 2 years. they hired a private investigator here in brook and in front of my house to take photos of my private life. and they were planning to take me to venezuela and then kidnapped me from granola to iran and then execute me in the past. must see, elena, john has been put under police protection in the us all because she campaigns on line against the headscarf law and iran. a different method of prohibiting digital activism is classical sensory ugandan,

women's rights activist and journalist rose bel camire has reported on how political rulers have temporarily blocks 6 social networks or slowed down internet speeds and run up to elections. bonding, social media instant had sat downs is currently a dictates as perfect stones against the people on these continents. but you will want to hold them, you want to shut them up, you shut the medium they are using and with your social media. most recently, the internet was hugely restricted during the unrest in kazakhstan, in january 2022. during that same period and burkina faso access to facebook and what's up was disrupted. this technique is, unfortunately not uncommon. a recent study found that since 2015, a 3rd of all countries were white, have restricted access to social media. although usually only temporarily, some find themselves with no option but to go abroad. like ugandan journalist roles bell co mirror, she moved to senegal for months in order to have unrestricted access to the

internet. the internet is a powerful tool over times for my work as an african feminist. you know, the internet has help us to break barriers in terms of a long way to board, as you know, to be able to understand like in on a daily basis. just like yesterday i was on line as on twitter and suddenly i see images of south. so then these women protesting on the streets in cuba, on her website, african feminism, dot com, the ugandan journalist gathers exactly this kind of information together was around 30 female authors. she uses the online platform to document what actions women fighting for equal rights are taking across africa. i said, pleasure in working with different women who are actually working with their communities picking out, breaking the silence and making sure they take us as

a continent towards a more gender equal and a just world frost. thou camera and her fellow campaigners fight for women's rights and also take their fight online. but right now, even internet access is unevenly distributed in africa, where only 30 percent of all internet users are women. but these for women are taking the long view and fighting for change despite the significant obstacles they face. i find this really impressive, the way i see it, the word would be a better place if there were more women, like massy to china, roles, bell and ophelia, and they need our support to help make change happen online and offline. which women are your role models and which online campaigns have impressed you the most? let us know on youtube oriented w dot com. good by and see you next time. ah
