Overview

Qualitative analysis shows social media polarizes conflict in Ethiopia, emphasizing women's exclusion and risks in peacebuilding.

Key Points

  • Weaponization of social media intensifies polarization and offline violence, disproportionately impacting women.
  • Women face exclusion from peace negotiations, heightened risks of gender-based violence, including rape, and displacement.
  • Research utilizes qualitative exploratory design with in-depth interviews, focus groups, and document analysis.
  • Recommendations include media literacy initiatives and inclusive frameworks to enhance women's participation in peacebuilding.
