Day of action against hate crime

The Hessian Ministry of Justice, civil society actors and the media are working together with the cooperation #KeineMachtdemHass to combat hate, incitement and digital violence on the Internet. The University of Kassel is also a cooperation partner. On July 22, the International Day for Victims of Hate Crime, the #KeineMachtdemHass cooperation is drawing attention to the fight against hate and incitement online with a day of action featuring various activities. In the talk round "Counter-speech, hotlines and victim counseling - 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 Art in Kassel, will also speak: "It is also images that are used for hate and agitation. 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 urgently need to be developed. But it is all the more important to raise awareness of how hate images work and the damage they cause."
