Hate Speech Around the World Podcast
Hosted by Sandhya Fuchs, author of “Fragile Hope: Seeking Justice for Hate Crimes in India”, the series brings together experts in the social sciences, linguistics, media studies, and criminology to explore what hate speech is, and the many ways in which it manifests. From the USA, to Europe, South America and India, the experts explore the social impact of hate speech, as well as the political debates surrounding it, and the complexities of legal regulation.
Each episode dives into a different aspect of hate speech, uncovering how words can cause harm, shape political realities and create negative emotions towards entire communities. Together the experts in the series try to find answers to urgent questions: how can law address hate speech without infringing on civil liberties? Where does hate speech begin? And what can ordinary citizens do to mitigate the harms of hate speech in everyday life?
Hope Not Hate was formed in 2004 as a positive antidote to hate politics.

They try to build relationships, give confidence to those who dislike racism and empower communities to provide a more positive alternative to the politics of despair.

Not In Our Town is a project of The Working Group, an Oakland-based nonprofit founded in 1988.

The original Not In Our Town campaign catalyzed a diverse grassroots movement that inspired hundreds of communities in the United States and around the world to take action against hate.
Not In Our Town’s mission is to guide, support and inspire people and communities to work together to stop hate and build safe, inclusive environments for all.

Southwark Mediation Centre – The Hate Crimes Project
The Hate crimes project has been running at Southwark Mediation Centre since 2000. It began as a two year pilot project but owing to its huge success, it has been running ever since.
Mediation is a voluntary, neutral and confidential process which allows parties in dispute to communicate and build improved relationships for the future. The power of mediation lies in the fact that the parties choose it and have an active part in any outcomes or resolutions made. Mediators are neutral, not on anybody’s side. Parties in dispute may wish to meet, or where they have chosen not to, the mediators can go between the parties ‘shuttling’ points of agreement, regarding wants and needs.
The project has been very successful in tackling racial harassment and homophobia in the community, working with both the victim and perpetrator. Residents have reported experiencing spitting, egg throwing, name calling, violence etc. sometimes for many years. Those who experience this want to live in the community free of fear and use mediation to express their needs as court action does not always produce the desired outcome. The project accepts self-referrals and referrals from other agencies including the Hate Crime Unit, the Police, Housing and SASBU.
