International Day Countering Hate Speech

International Day for Countering Hate Speech takes place on 18th June each year, providing an opportunity to raise awareness about the harmful impact of hate speech and promote tolerance, understanding, and respect among individuals and communities.

Hate speech, whether expressed online or offline, can fuel discrimination, prejudice, and violence, leading to social division and exclusion. International Day for Countering Hate Speech aims to mobilise individuals, governments, and organisations to stand against hate speech and uphold the principles of equality, diversity, and human rights.

For engaging content ideas to promote awareness and counter hate speech on social media and digital platforms, consider the following:

• Share educational resources, articles, and infographics that explain the different forms of hate speech and their consequences on individuals and society.
• Highlight positive initiatives, stories, and projects that promote tolerance, empathy, and dialogue among diverse communities, showcasing examples of solidarity and unity.
• Organise virtual events such as live discussions, webinars, or online workshops with experts, activists, and community leaders to address the root causes of hate speech and explore strategies for prevention and intervention.
• Encourage your audience to take a pledge or commit to speaking out against hate speech, promoting messages of respect, acceptance, and inclusivity in their online interactions.
• Create interactive social media campaigns, challenges, or hashtags that encourage users to share their experiences, perspectives, and solutions for countering hate speech in their communities.
