This episode explores the significance and potential effects of a women’s shutdown in South Africa, as well as how its online expression amplified and connected the message to global activism trends in digital, color-based activism. We also examine the circumstances surrounding Mali, where a female TikTok influencer was killed, which raises questions about the dangers women face as their voices and visibility rise online.
