    The document argues that hashtag activism only creates awareness of issues but does not often propel people to take real action to create change. While hashtags help spread information widely on social media, they are often fleeting and do not reflect the depth and work of social movements on the ground. For activism to be effective, it needs to go beyond hashtags to encourage offline participation and sustained efforts over time.
