Countering Hate Speech Aotearoa
Promoting hate speech legislation and providing support to organisations on hate speech topics
About
Specifically, we will aim to:
- Educate the wider public about hate speech topics in general
- Educate the wider public about the benefits of anti-hate speech laws in promoting social cohesion and diversity.
- Educate the wider public about how hate speech impacts the groups that it is directed at, with a particular focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, and transgender people in particular.
- Also educate the wider public about how hate speech directed against Māori communities, Pasifika communities, Muslim communities and women decreases the likelihood that people in those groups will participate in democracy and the marketplace of ideas. Hate speech has the specific effect of silencing minority voices.
- Get hate speech de-platformed by legal means, i.e. contacting venues etc.
- Work with professional organisations to ensure hate speech topics are incorporated into codes of ethics of professional organisations.
- Do a small amount of lobbying of politicians (but less than 5 per cent of our overall activity).
