Female activists in environmental movements on Instagram: An ecofeminism perspective in the Indonesian context

Summary/Abstract: Social media has become an essential instrument for activists and organisations to campaign and share their activism in the digital sphere. In Indonesia, many activists utilise social media to create and interact with the audience; and expand their networks, including in environmental activism. Numerous studies have analysed the importance of environmental organisations and activists in combating the climate issue; however, only a few have examined how female activists depict and discuss environmental activism on social media from an ecofeminist viewpoint, particularly on Instagram. The contributions of female activists may provide broader and more critical views that link environmental challenges with other issues. Therefore, the growth of online networks not only opens the chance to participate in transnational activism and movements but also may lead to a rise in the number of female activists who can voice their opinions and campaign on environmental concerns, particularly in the Indonesian context.
