A Twitter Party is a social media event hosted by an individual, group of individuals or organization to raise awareness about a particular issue or set of issues. The Twitter Party could be generated around an event (International Women’s Day, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence), a conference (African Feminist Forum, CSW), a cultural product (book, film, music album) or news event (Ebola, Chibok girls, imprisonment of women human rights defenders in Egypt).
