The Role of Digital Literacy in Indonesia’s Fourth-Wave Feminism
Abstract
The aim of the research is to further comprehend the implementation of digital literacy in the feminist movement as information technology develops. This research is important since women's social issues in Indonesia continue to be addressed through the usage of the internet. The research method used is the narrative literature review method. Data was obtained from searching with the keywords "Literasi Digital Feminisme" and "Literasi Digital Perempuan" on Google Scholar. The search found 8 full-text articles for purposes of the literature review. According to the findings, equal digital access without bias based on gender requires further improvement. As a result, in its application, the feminist movement could boost women's digital literacy motivation and become a space for women's empowerment by uploading education related to women information to the internet. Sustainable strategies are also required so that the issues raised by the feminist movement on the internet may influence public opinion. In this case, women can innovate and contribute by sharing their experiences or providing educational and relevant information.
