Abstract

Hashtags are commonly used in social media communication not only to categorize conversations but particularly to raise attention and generate debate of certain topics. Hashtag activism is one of the areas that is gaining particular attention from academics and the overall society. The focus of this chapter is hashtag attributes. Particularly, it analyses and compares four hashtags related to violence against women that circulated on social networks during the COVID-19 pandemic: #16Days, #IsolatedNotAlone, #womensupportingwomen, and #NiUnaMenos. The chapter highlights important aspects to increase the effectiveness of communication with the use of hashtags.
