Social Work faces the challenge of dealing with social networking sites. These sites have become a parallel universe of socialization where digital activism is taking place. The #Metoo movement is a global reference and it is being consolidated as a digital global feminist movement against harassment and women abuse.

In this paper, we analyse different hashtags (#Metoo; #Niunamenos; #Niunamas #8M) related to feminism on Twitter between 2018-2019 from a social work perspective in a longitudinal way by social network analysis and netnography in conjunction with certain algorithms.

The results achieved show how every hashtag has a different feminist orientation. #Metoo is used to denunciate harassment and abuse, #niunamas and #niunamenos are used to denunciate report femicides and violence while #8M is used to claim women rights. The insights demonstrate significant patterns of sorority, homophily and affective polarization through the identified echo chambers and bubble filters in the Twitter communities detected. Moreover, these online communities mirror characteristics from the offline reality (geographical location, affinities, similarities). The global effect and durability of the #Metoo movement raises a new perspective of social movements in a digital era.
