Category: Voices of Hashtag: From Online Activism To Social Influence
Who would have thought that the combination of two horizontal lines and two vertical (slightly diagonal) lines can engage hundreds, thousands, millions and even billions of people in the online world? For sure, you have used this symbol at least once in your social media posts—the #. When the # symbol is followed by a word or a phrase, a hashtag is born. A hashtag can be powerful as it can emphasize the online discussion of social issues and advocacies, with the possibility to influence and to initiate social activities offline.
As an online platform, Alapaap Media and Voices of Humans aim to utilise the power of a hashtag by bringing the miniseries, Voices of Hashtag. It presents the voices of practitioners, activists, and supporters of various and relevant social concerns.
Voices of Hashtag: Gender, Color, Determination
The love story of a lesbian and gay couple, the journey of embracing the black complexion, the respect to gender equality as a secret to long marriage, and the determination of an Aeta Teacher to pass the Licensure Exam were featured in the month of August.
