Introducing Pikaramagazine.com (part 2) I definitily think that the Internet has been a great help for the feminist movement in Spain. We use Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch between activist from different countries, to organize pro choice protests or to claim against gender violence... When our contents become viral, mainstream media start talking about that issues. That happened with an article about sexual harassment in San Fermin fiestas. A lot of newspapers, TV and radio shows started talking about sexism in fiestas and that pushed local government to take responsibility to prevent sex assaults. So I really think that the social media are very helpful to become stronger lobbys. Pikara is not the only young online feminist project. I recommend you Proyecto Kahlo, Faktoria Lila, Stop Gordofobia, Una buena barba, Cenicientas 3.0., Memes Feministas... We have in common to use comic, multimedia contents and a lot of sense of humor to express ourself and explain our ideas better. But we also have a lot of enemies, misogynist trolls who keep insulting and threatening us. They also denounce our contents in Facebook and Youtube, and the often succeed. So censorship is another big problem for us. That is also one of the reasons wy we created an online Forum, because its a safer environment than other social media. I want to finish with a video, from our videoblogger, Alicia Murillo, who explains who are the misogynists trolls and who make jokes about them. Because, we are pro self defense, but we also think that our best revenge is to keep on laughing. Thank you very much!
