Female activists in environmental movements on Instagram: An ecofeminism perspective in the Indonesian context
Abstract
Social media has become an essential instrument for activists and organizations to campaign and share their activism in the digital sphere. In Indonesia, while discussing digital activism, many activists also utilize social media to create, interact, and expand their networks. Numerous studies have analyzed the importance of environmental groups and activists in combating the climate issue; however, relatively few have examined how female activists depict and debate environmental activism on social media from an ecofeminist viewpoint, particularly on Instagram. Considering the contributions of female activists may provide broader and more critical viewpoints that link environmental challenges with other topics. Therefore, the growth of online networks and social media platforms may lead to a rise in the number of female activists who are able to voice their opinions and campaign on environmental concerns, particularly in the Indonesian setting.
