This thesis scrutinises the conversation about violence against women on social media. The main research question is: ‘Does social media reproduce colonial ideologies such as racism and sexism?’ Indigenous women experience the highest rates of sexual violence in the United States: they are twice as likely to be as all other women.

The thesis explores whether this applies to Indigenous women and sexual violence, or whether their voices are generally overlooked.
