The potential of social media in peacebuilding efforts is undeniable, offering unprecedented opportunities to connect, engage, and mobilize individuals and communities in pursuit of peace and social change. Throughout this exploration, we have examined the transformative impact of social media in raising awareness, fostering dialogue, mobilizing activism, and building virtual communities dedicated to peacebuilding objectives. However, as we conclude, it is essential to reflect on the challenges and limitations inherent in leveraging social media for peacebuilding purposes and consider strategies for maximizing its potential while mitigating its risks.Firstly, it is clear that social media has emerged as a powerful platform for raising awareness about conflicts, human rights abuses, and social injustices around the world. By amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, victims of violence, and grassroots peacebuilders, social media enables individuals to share their stories, advocate for change, and mobilize support on a global scale.
