Through an intersectional feminist lens (Collins, 2015; Crenshaw, 1991), the paper specifically looks at how women with diverse and intersecting social identities (including race, religion, and age) participate in everyday digital peacebuilding in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). BARMM was formally established as part of a peace agreement to end nearly five decades of armed conflict and several years of peace talks between the Philippine government, and several autonomist groups. By investigating young women’s digital media practices in building everyday
peace, the paper offers valuable insights into various ways technology is used for peacebuilding, young women’s understanding of peace, and the representation and negotiation of gender across different conflict settings. A better understanding of young women's contributions to digital peacebuilding also contributes new evidence for policymakers and practitioners to make more informed decisions on how to advance more inclusive and equitable use of digital media to conflict resolution and peace.
