Day of action against hate crime

The Hessian Ministry of Justice, civil society actors and the media are working together with the #KeineMachtdemHass cooperation to combat hate, hate speech and digital violence online. The University of Kassel is also a cooperation partner. On July 22, the International Day for Victims of Hate Crime, the #KeineMachtdemHass cooperation is holding a day of action with various activities to draw attention to the fight against hate and hate speech online. In the panel discussion "Counter-speech, hotlines and victim counselling - what options do civil society organizations have in a society"? (presence and livestream), Daniel Hornuff, Professor of Theory and Practice of Design at the University of Kassel's School of Art, will also be speaking: "There are also images that are used to promote hatred and incitement. Above all, racism and anti-Semitism unfold in social media via manipulated photographs, videos and specially designed graphics. Effective measures against these forms of aestheticized discrimination must be developed as a matter of urgency. However, it is all the more important to raise awareness of how hate images work and the damage they cause."
