This paper seeks to highlight the experiences and aspirations of young women and feminist activists in the MENA region around digital spaces, safety, and rights. It explores individual women’s experiences engaging with the digital world, the opportunities and challenges that women’s rights and feminist organizations find in these platforms, and the digital world as a space of resistance, despite restrictions on civic space. Drawing on interviews with feminist activists from the region, the paper sheds light on women’s online experiences and related offline risks and illustrates patterns and behaviors that prevailed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
