Feminist cyberactivism: Violence against women, internet politics, and Spanish feminist praxis online

This article explores the use of new technologies and the internet in the creation of new relational spaces, or online collectives, that have arisen in Spanish online feminist praxis as an activist proposal in the particular sphere of the fight against violence against women. Its main objective is to provide an overview of some of the diverse women's communities online in Spain that are using the internet for issues of activism in relation to the fight against violence against women. This article aims to show the differences in how these collectives were created, and how they define Spanish cyberactivist praxis from different practice-based positions. It argues that these online collectives work to preserve a sense of a project of female agency in two ways: they can serve both as a concrete cyberactivist claim that strengthens political action offline, and as a conceptualization of the broad and independent feminist positions that make up online feminist praxis.
