Abstract

Digital feminism reshapes gendered power relations in Society 5.0, where datafication, algorithmic governance, and platform-based labor generate new configurations of inequality while simultaneously opening possibilities for social transformation. This study examines how contemporary feminist frameworks—particularly posthuman feminism, technoscience feminism, and digital ethics—offer theoretical and strategic tools to understand, challenge, and reconfigure these dynamics. Using an interpretive qualitative approach, the analysis synthesizes insights from Donna Haraway, Francesca Ferrando, Mariarosaria Taddeo, and recent scholarship on algorithmic bias and platform labor. Findings from academic literature, policy debates, and cases of digital work reveal structural patterns such as user-data extraction, the invisibilization of care labor, and the co-optation of feminist discourse within digital capitalism. The study highlights digital feminism as a strategic field emphasizing critical digital literacy, data sovereignty, gender-sensitive technological design, and women’s participation in digital governance. Rather than occupying a passive role in technological change, women emerge as agents who reimagine digital futures, confront the persistence of patriarchal residues embedded in AI and platform infrastructures, and contribute to building more inclusive and just digital societies.
