Gerek Türkiye’deki gerekse diğer ülkelerde kadın cinayetleri ve kadına yönelik istismar iddiaları sonrasında ortaya çıkan eylemler ve yeni medyanın bu eylemlerin organize edilmesindeki rolü, bütün şüphelere rağmen sosyal medyanın etkinliğinin dikkate alınması gerektiğini gösteriyor. Bu bağlamda yeni medyanın bütün ötekileştirilenler genelinde ve kadınlar özelinde artan kullanımı, bireyler arasında eşitlik adına, hak ihlallerinin daha yüksek sesle konuşulması adına, farklı kesimlerin medyaya daha rahat ulaşmaları adına ciddi fırsatlar sunmaktadır.
Bu nedenle söz konusu çalışma; kadının ve kadın örgütlerinin kamusal alanda var olma mücadelesini görünür kılmada önemli rolü olan yeni medyanın; kadın haklarına olan ilgiyi artırıp artırmadığını, kadının politik katılım tavrını iyileştirip iyileştirmediğini; medya ve toplumsal söylemde ayrılıkçı dil ve ayrımcılıkla ile mücadele edip edemeyeceğini; kadın organizasyonları ve politika uygulayıcıları arasında köprü kurup kuramadığını ve bütün bunlardan yola çıkarak kadının teknoloji ile ilişkisini düzenleyip düzenlemediğini ulusal ve uluslararası örnekler bağlamında ele alacaktır.
