Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Social media plays a crucial role in influencing the public conversation surrounding feminism. This research is focused on analysing Kaduna residents’ views and attitudes toward feminist posts on social media. Anchored on Online Inhibition theory, the study adopted a survey research design to elicit data from 312 residents of Kaduna City using Google Forms as a questionnaire tool. Findings revealed that the majority of Kaduna residents see feminist posts on social media, and the platform with the most feminist posts is X. However, results showed that Kaduna residents see feminist posts as not aligning with their cultural and religious philosophies. Hence, the majority has a pessimistic attitude towards feminist posts on social media. Researchers recommend adequate education that can bring about mindset change and help people understand the real objectives of feminism.
