Digital Feminist Activism in Turkey

Digital Feminist Activism in Turkey explores how feminist movements navigate the promises and pressures of digital politics in an increasingly authoritarian environment.

Across the globe, feminist activists have turned to digital platforms to mobilise supporters, expose violence, challenge misogynistic policies, and build transnational solidarities. Focusing on Turkey, this book approaches digital feminist activism through the lens of labour, foregrounding the often-invisible emotional, organisational, and technological work that sustains online resistance. It examines how activists communicate, organise, and create counter-publics under conditions of censorship, surveillance, and political repression. By analysing the structural constraints and strategic adaptations that shape feminist digital engagement, this study highlights both the empowering potential and the exploitative dimensions of digital activism.

This book will appeal to scholars and students of gender studies, social movements, media and communication, and Middle East politics, as well as activists and practitioners interested in the evolving relationship between feminism and digital labour.
