Women of the (cyber) world: the case of Mexican feminist NGOs

Mexican feminist non-governmental organisations use the internet as a means to gain support for the promotion of women’s issues and to instigate political and social reform. This article examines the theoretical considerations of the use of alternative, radical, and citizens’ media, in order to provide a broad view of their relationship to the functioning of various Mexican feminist NGOs. It also interprets and discusses the efforts of these groups to surpass territorial frontiers in order to establish a system of support and exchange at the global level in pursuit of a more gender-equitable society.
