La práctica de la ciudadanía digital en condiciones de equidad es uno de los principales retos políticos ante las nuevas formas de vida social, política y económica que emergen con el impacto de las TIC. El ejercicio de una ciudadanía digital activa se resume en el derecho y la capacidad para participar plenamente en la sociedad de la información con confianza, de forma segura y aprovechando al máximo su potencial en beneficio personal. Esta investigación se ocupa del grado en que las mujeres que viven en zonas rurales ejercitan su ciudadanía digital a partir del estudio de prácticas digitales concretas como la gestión de su identidad en red y la participación democrática en redes sociales. En la investigación se sigue un diseño cuantitativo basado en encuestas personales a 478 mujeres rurales andaluzas con distintos perfiles. Los resultados muestran un ejercicio de la ciudadanía digital moderado con diferencias en función del nivel educativo de las mujeres y del tamaño de su red. El estudio muestra prácticas digitales necesarias para que las mujeres rurales participen activamente en estos nuevos entornos en los que se construye la ciudadanía. De acuerdo con otros estudios, este trabajo muestra a las redes sociales como la tecnología digital con mayor potencial para la inclusión digital de las mujeres rurales y desvela cómo determinadas prácticas digitales activan la participación ciudadana e impactan en su bienestar.
