Abstract: This paper investigates the role of social media in facilitating activism, particularly among Arab women in Egypt, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia. It builds upon prior studies that have examined social media usage during the Arab Spring uprisings, as well as research focused on female engagement on these platforms. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study analyzes various case studies and academic journals. Through a comprehensive literature review, the findings reveal that social media served as a valuable tool for Arab women in all three countries during the Arab Spring, enabling their participation in activism and advocating for change.
