The Digital Age: A Feminist Future for the Queer African Woman

How can digital spaces make possible a feminist future for the queer African woman? Writing as the editors of a South African queer online space, HOLAA, this article aims to draw attention to and discuss queer digital communities and how they afford the queer African woman the space to express her lived experiences. The article further examines how digital spaces create these possibilities for public and political expression. Lastly, the authors put forth what they consider a feminist future for the queer African woman to be, and that it is within this future that the rights of queer women can be protected nationally and internationally as the conversations that fight erasure, exclusion and the denial of rights occur.
