In conjunction with the United Nations International Day for Countering Hate Speech, June 18th, the #defyhatenow #PeaceJam will amplify the the voices of individuals and communities traditionally excluded from peacebuilding conversations. The aim is to recognise the disproportionate burden of conflict and hate speech borne by marginalised groups and advocate for their inclusion in finding solutions.
#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.
