SUMMARY AND OBJECTIVES

A commitment to promoting social justice lies at the heart of the social work profession (Grant & Austin, 2014). Some define social justice in terms of oppressor and oppressed language, and others underscore the centrality of promoting human rights, multiculturalism, and diversity (Austin, Branom, & King, 2014). The National Association of Social Workes [NASW] (2018) and the International Federation of Social Workers [IFSW] (2016) identifies the promotion of social justice as a primary social worker role. The emancipatory approach of Social Work considers activism as a tool to fight for better social justice. Research suggests that activists have often used social networking sites as tools of resistance to claim social justice and shift the balance of power and functioning (Veil, Reno, Freihaut, & Oldham, 2015). There is participation in the production and reproduction of digital content, in a process of mass self-communication that challenges conventional structures and promotes the empowerment of those who do (Hoffman, Lutz, & Meckel, 2015).
