#JamaisSansElles – the movement for gender equality and a hashtag with 200,000 mentions on Twitter

What is most striking at first, in the light of the hashtag’s statistics*, is not only the extent of the response the movement has received and the great responsiveness of the community it has united, but also the consistency and sustainability of its impact (see history of hashtag).

The story of the #JamaisSansElles movement, its impact on and penetration of social networks can be read in a way on the graph below, which represents the activity of the hashtag over time since its creation three years ago (from January 2016 until February 2019).

During this time, the hashtag was associated with more than 200,000 tweets and retweets and was posted by nearly 50,000 contributors. In all, this generated more than 350,000 engagements on Twitter (retweets, favorites, comments) and an average monthly reach of 35.5 million accounts in 2018*.

Consistency and Highlights 

The main reason for this consistency is that the movement has developed in an organic way on social networks — no marketing plan — and with the support and direct involvement of influencers and leaders who are active in the economic, associative and political fabric of the nation.Therefore, although the hashtag has benefited greatly from the influence of its founders and its initial support (including members of the Gentlemen’s Club with their 600,000 followers, the Club Girl Power 3.0 (referent community) and the Women’s Council of the Association #JamaisSansElles (totaling 1.2 million followers), it quickly became an autonomous marker of the fight for diversity and gender equality; and the natural vehicle of speeches given in favor of the recognition of the role, legitimacy and presence of women, alongside men, in all spheres of activity, decision-making and representation.

A qualified and dynamic community

As a result, a qualified community that feeds and passes on relevant information and messages in this particular domain has been established. It is also fed qualitatively and continuously by the @JamaisSansElles Twitter team, whose daily monitoring activity ensures that the hashtag enjoys a constantly renewed vitality.

Beyond the major events of the association and political sequences that have had a direct impact on the activity of #JamaisSansElles, the community involved has continued to maintain a very high level of commitment, demonstrating both its attention to the various official interventions of #JamaisSansElles and its capacity to mobilise.
