Abstract

Cyberfeminism in Latin America and the Caribbean is a constantly evolving practice that uses the Internet to challenge gender inequalities and promote equity. This study analyzes the role of the Internet in online feminist practice, focusing on cyberrelationships and their importance in the digital environment. Through a meta-study, it examines cyberfeminist perspectives over time, highlighting the importance of identities, solidarity, and resistance in the digital space. It explores currents of cyberactivism, hackfeminism, technofeminism, and data feminism, emphasizing their convergence to drive gender equality. Challenges, examples, and their impact are presented. It addresses gender digital divides, participation in STEM areas, and digital violence, emphasizing the importance of situated knowledge. Additionally, it examines the relationship between technology and gender from feminist perspectives and highlights the convergence of digital commons and cyberfeminism for a fair digital transition.
