Abstract

This article explores cyberfeminist participation, with a focus on the 8M movement, the most recent international feminist strike front, which repoliticizes the feminist movements of this century (Arruzza et al., 2019), and is characterized as a mobilization that is a consequence of the association between the online and the street (Zimmerman, 2017). To better understand the construction of intersectional feminism through digital activism, we performed a netnographic analysis of the Instagram profile of the Rede 8 de Março, which organizes the strike in Portugal, during the month of March 2021 - still in pandemic period - evidencing the use of hybridity as a tool for construction and mobilization. After the analysis, semi-structured interviews were carried out with participants of the collective that organizes the strike. The main results reveal the recurrence of themes around misogyny violence and domestic work and show the importance of hybrid feminist activism in the construction of a transnational movement.
