On January 18 and 19, 2024, the Field Guide Sprint’s Ethiopia Edition update engaged 60 participants (30 females, 30 males) in hate speech and violence mitigation with #defyhatenow
#defyhatenow in Ethiopia seeks to support those voices acting against the conflict to go ‘viral’ within and outside the country – bringing the diaspora into the online peace building framework, bridging gaps of knowledge and awareness of social media mechanisms between those with access to technology and those without.
