Digitized Gender Activism in Afghanistan

This project attempts to study the role and importance of media platforms in women’s protests with a specific focus on social media platforms. The research hypothesis is that social networks have played an important role in coordinating the activities of women in Afghanistan. Therefore, it is necessary to study this topic scientifically using the available resources in this field.

To answer the research question of how women use social networks to coordinate activities and protests, the qualitative explanatory method of collecting information and data and analyzing the content of the data is used.
