Potencialidades do ativismo digital no combate à violência sexual contra mulheres na América Latina

Abstract

Arguing about ways of thinking about Latin American feminisms is necessary from a decolonial bias formed by authors from the Global South. Combining such theoretical knowledge with the activist practices of women inside and outside the networks is beneficial to understand how their violent realities have been fought, so in our work we propose to reflect on the uses and repercussions of digital activism in the fight against sexual harassment suffered by women in Latin America. For this purpose, we selected the Brazilian campaigns #ChegadeFiuFiu and #MexeuComUmaMexeuComTodas in order to examine whether the actions carried out by them resulted in significant effects on the agenda in question. Preliminary results indicate that the intersection between practices and knowledge reverberated in new forms of women's political organization, sometimes efficient in confronting sexual violence in public spaces.
