Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In India, social media has increasingly become a key player in influencing women’s access to education and career opportunities. Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram provide significant avenues for women to break through traditional barriers, access educational resources, build professional networks, and advance in their careers. However, while social media opens up new opportunities, it also brings challenges related to the digital divide, cyberbullying, and cultural biases. This paper examines the role of social media in shaping women’s educational and professional trajectories in India, analyzing both the opportunities it provides and the challenges it presents within the unique socio-cultural and economic framework of the country.
