Hashtags
As far as modern society is concerned, violence has become a serious issue that many are exposed to on a daily basis. In this sense, it becomes essential to assess the impacts of these different hashtags and how they affect the global perception of violence (Bilge and Marino 45). As a result, it becomes possible to assess how effective said hashtags actually are at promoting an end to violence in the society.
#Endviolenceagainstwomen
This hashtag is one of the most popular across the world as far as violence is concerned. The propagation of violence against women continues to be a source of major concern for many across the world, particularly since many women that experience violence either keep silent about it or rationalize the actions of the perpetrator (Bilge and Marino 111). In this hashtag, it clearly emerges that the core victims of violence in the society are women. While much of this violence is experienced in the domestic setting, it is equally worth noting that other forms of violence against women such as rape and even harassment occasionally surface in this regard. As a result, this hashtag serves as a blanket hashtag for all sorts of violence (physical, emotional, mental) exercised on women by mainly men. It is also quite interesting that instances of women-on-women violence are hardly mentioned in this hashtag. In this sense, this hashtag completely avoids this topic and as such sticks to the patterns of violence against women exerted by men. This hashtag provides valuable insights from women on the nature and execution of violence against them, mainly by men.
