Description
Summary:This study analyzes the cyberactivism of Peruvian women who led the largest social mobilization of the 21st century. The paper presents a theoretical discussion on cyberactivism from social actors, their participation and interaction, as well as the relationship between online and offline in the social mobilizations. We examine over 55,000 tweets—from November 10 to 15, 2020—by 201 users, and interviews with 10 participant actors. The findings highlight women's prominent involvement, albeit with less influence compared to men, as well as underscoring Twitter's immediacy and reach in activism, and the synergy between online and offline activities. The study concludes that Twitter served as a platform for social and political interaction for promoting and organizing mobilization.
