When you get hateful messages online, does it make sense to respond to them?
Generally, it's more effective to promote positivity, but if you do feel the need to respond, here are some guidelines on how to respond to hate speech.

Imams too have a pivotal role to play in community Peace building.
That’s why imams, youth & women group leaders from the North West and South West regions are converging in Buea from 16-18 Aug. 2023, to discuss strategies towards a #HateFreeCameroon#defyhatenow#PeaceBuilding
This week, and every week, always choose dialogue over conflict. Provide the space for a genuine exchange of views, and to discuss differences and disagreements.

When a society suffers major intergroup violence and people stand by silently, other people assume they are approving of it. So if you don’t approve, SPEAK UP!
The more vocal the non-approving voices become, the harder it is for dangerous speech to take hold.

“By creating safe online spaces we are also creating an impact in communities where everyone can express themselves without fear of being judged or discriminated against, there is a need to create more safe online spaces for all” @DonaldTchiengue
"En créant des espaces en ligne sûrs, nous créons également un impact dans les communautés où chacun peut s'exprimer sans crainte d'être jugé ou discriminé, il est nécessaire de créer davantage d'espaces sécurisés en ligne pour tous” @DonaldTchiengue#ThinkB4UClick#defyhatenow
We look forward to a Hate Speech-free holiday. I look back at the efforts of @defyhatenow & @civic_watch in championing this course. The Ministry of Youth affairs is getting involved in mitigating this societal problem. @UnCamerounSansHaine @defyhatenow_wca @HateFreeCameroon
Community and religious leaders have a strong potential to influence others in the fight against hate. When they speak out, their messages can have a large impact.
📢 Are you a leader in your community? Speak out against hate!
#defyhatenow#HateFreeCommunities#NoToHate
Speak out: If you witness hate speech, speak up and make it clear that it is not acceptable. Use your voice to advocate for those who may not be able to speak up for themselves. It’s should be collective
#MotivationMonday
Sometimes, it only takes one person to make a difference. Whenever you encounter hate speech, be the voice of reason and compassion. Stand up, speak out, and #defyhatenow!
