Instagram as an Educational Platform: @IndonesiaFeminist
Social media plays a very important role in today's society. Because social media has become a means for finding and disseminating information, and also with the speed of the internet today, any small amount of information will be quickly spread. Social issues that still exist in Indonesian society, such as gender inequality and discrimination against minorities, are things that are still ignored in society. Many people in Indonesia still normalize patriarchal culture, even though this is an injustice by women who feel that their rights are limited by the patriarchal culture. In addition, the inequality experienced by women due to various stereotypes that exist in society makes women always limit themselves, even though they can develop more in terms of education, for example.
These issues are still developing in society and cause gender inequality in social roles. There are so many activists who slowly and subtly provide education about gender equality, with the hope that women in Indonesia have the same and equal opportunities to men.
As in the Instagram @IndonesiaFeminist social media account, in their bio they promote and prioritize
sexuality and gender diversity as well as class awareness. This platform has been around since 2016 and is growing until now it has 114k followers.
Besides voicing about gender equality, this platform also supports women to be more developed and aware of themselves and their abilities. Education about sexual violence, domestic violence that is often experienced by women is also voiced and often discussed. They also provide information for survivors of sexual violence to get fair justice.
