Social media is an influential medium for women to be engaged in online activism and advocate for their rights. It provides an alternative platform for a woman to raise her voice against harassment / atrocities, injustice and discrimination. Social media has a potential to make a far greater contribution to the advancement of women. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter provides vital space for women and minorities to share their personal stories. Hashtag activism has helped to mobilize public attention on women rights and increased the visibility of issues that are under-reported in mainstream media. Present study tries to find out the power and influence of social media in the empowerment of women. This study involves an online survey which has been conducted among Internet/social media users using Google forms.
