    Feminist campaigns such as #MeToo, #BeenRapedNeverReported, and #YesAllWomen represent only a fraction of the numerous digital campaigns that feminists have created to challenge rape culture and to call out other forms of oppression, provide public and easily accessible spaces that can contribute to learning about, challenging, and dismantling misogyny and rape culture. Digital technologies and social media platforms have had a significant influence on feminists’ ability to organize and advocate across various platforms while simultaneously reaching a large audience to fight against misogyny, patriarchy, and sexism. However, there are significant gaps in this research such as the challenges that correspond to digital feminist activism and digital archiving, a major reason being its modernity. Our team examined past and present digital campaigns that allowed us to analyze trends of digital campaigns as well as the gaps in the history of digital feminist activism and archiving, and allowed us to contribute to fill these gaps
