Women Leading The Social Media Space

Where there are women, there is power; there is magic!
Happy International Women's Day to the pack.

Women are more active on social media; they use it more and are more involved than men. Women are more social by nature, so in social media (where communication is most prevalent), women are just a good match.

While women, sadly, are still underrepresented in general media, social media allows the voices of women from many backgrounds and countries, or outside of traditional power, to be heard.

Examples Of Women Centric Movements

Women contribute quality to social media as they generate feedback, giving their opinion on the product. That is why many products have strategies that specifically targeted to women.

All over the world, girls visit digital platforms to talk about issues that are important to them. They express their views, gather their peers and seek action from society. Girls build movement, they also share their friendships, their favorite memes and how life is for girls in their communities.

Here are some inspirational women on social media.

This set of Canadian twins began talking about the education of girls at 8-year-old. Maryam and Nivaal discovered that many Pakistani girls could not complete their education because of poverty and discrimination. The news encouraged the two to start promoting girls' education.

Today, these 17-year-olds have a great deal of success: they run a successful YouTube channel and interview with celebrities such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta and renowned economist Christine Lagarde. The twins have released their documentary film, “Destined to Soar,” about the state of girls' education in Pakistan.

While Maryam and Nivaal's social media are very dedicated to promoting their favorite causes, the girls also share their journey, post movie reviews and fill your feed with amazing images and selfies.
