Mediated Feminism: How Social Media Shapes the Transnational Flow of Feminist Discourses

shaped by the rise of digital communication technologies. This article explores the concept of mediated feminism, examining how social media platforms function as dynamic spaces that enable and constrain the transnational flow of feminist discourses. Drawing on the theories of mediatization and transnational feminism, the study analyzes how online campaigns such as #MeToo, #NiUnaMenos, and #WomenLifeFreedom exemplify the ways in which digital media facilitate feminist solidarity while simultaneously reproducing structural inequalities. Through qualitative analysis of social media narratives and platform affordances, this research demonstrates that mediated feminism operates at the intersection of empowerment and algorithmic control. While social media amplify feminist voices and create new avenues for global visibility, they also impose commercial, cultural, and linguistic barriers that shape who is heard and who remains invisible. The paper argues that understanding mediated feminism requires attention to the interplay between technological mediation, cultural translation, and political agency. Ultimately, the study contends that mediated feminism represents a crucial transformation in how feminist discourse circulates and evolves in the digital public sphere.
