Hate speech is a growing phenomenon across the world. As a manifestation of intolerance and hatred towards certain groups in society, hate speech is intertwined with hate crimes and discrimination, representing a threat to sustainable peace and social cohesion.
Because of the impact hate speech has on both on victims and societies at large, it is of utmost importance to address and counter it in a comprehensive way, at both individual and State level. Despite growing attention to hate speech, many still underestimate or do not fully grasp the consequences of it.
Words Matter.
Even a few words, used maliciously, can be transmitted globally in seconds, inciting people to violence and stoking racial, linguistic, and religious differences. That’s why UNICRI and the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect are leading a training on how to combat hate speech.
The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect (OSAPG), is organizing a new specialized course entitled Words Matter: a Crash Course in Stomping Out Hate Speech, which will be delivered online from 7 to 31 October 2020.
