This May 9-10, 2024, we are organizing a workshop in Yaoundé for the production of an Anti-HateSpeech Creed to be used in schools in Cameroon 🇨🇲.
The purpose of this creed is to promote unity, understanding, and respect among people of different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. It serves as a reminder that all individuals have the right to express themselves freely, but not at the expense of others. It also aims to educate and raise awareness about the consequences of hate speech and encourage individuals to think before they speak. This creed is not meant to restrict freedom of speech, but rather to promote responsible and respectful communication. It serves as a guide for individuals to use their words in a positive and constructive manner. We believe that by adopting this creed, we can create a culture of tolerance and understanding in Cameroon.
#defyhatenow in Cameroon 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.
