Abstract

The expansion of digital technology has significantly transformed the landscape of human rights advocacy, particularly in socio-political contexts where public discourse is constrained. This study examines how digital activism constitutes a new arena of human rights advocacy within Muslim society, with a specific focus on the #MeToo movement in Egypt. While discussions on sexual violence in Egypt have historically been limited by patriarchal norms, cultural stigma, and political restrictions, digital platforms have enabled survivors to articulate their experiences and challenge dominant social narratives. Using a qualitative case study approach and the Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) framework, this research analyses how digital activists employ strategies such as information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics in advancing gender-related human rights claims. The findings reveal that digital activism not only amplifies marginalized voices but also reconfigures the space of advocacy by transforming private experiences into collective public discourse. Importantly, the study demonstrates that digital activism in Egypt operates within a Muslim socio-religious context, where advocacy efforts are shaped by Islamic ethical principles. Activists strategically integrate values such as justice (adl), human dignity (karamah), and the protection of honor (hifz al-‘ird) to legitimize their claims and enhance social acceptance. This process reflects what the study conceptualizes as Islamic ethical adaptation, where global human rights norms are localized within religious framework.

Abstract

The evolution of global diplomacy into the digital sphere presents both unprecedented opportunities and profound ethical challenges. China's Digital Silk Road (DSR), as part of its broader Belt and Road Initiative, has become a significant instrument of soft power projection, particularly in the Muslim-majority regions of Southeast Asia. While the DSR emphasises connectivity and technological advancement, it also raises questions related to justice, sovereignty, surveillance, and digital control. This paper seeks to examine these developments through the lens of Islamic ethics, emphasising principles such as adl (justice), shura (consultation), karamah al-insaniyyah (human dignity), and amanah (trust). By critically engaging with China's digital diplomacy strategy, this study argues that Islamic ethical thought offers a robust normative framework capable of guiding more just, transparent, and humane approaches to digital international engagement. In doing so, the paper contributes to the development of an Islamic discourse on digital diplomacy, positioning Islamic ethics as a vital foundation for shaping the future of the global digital order.

On the other hand, the lack of socialization in digital economy transactions threatens the security of people nowadays. The research used mix method approach with secondary and primary data.
