We are happy to see young people stand up to self organise an join efforts in addressing the issues around hatespeech, mis/Disinformation.

It was in 2022 with Thor Youanes when we started engagment with about 65 youth participants from Unity state- counties of Leer, Mayendit, Koch and Mayom. Our focus was on the community level state of hatespeech, impacts and how dialogue can shape the perception within the civil population scope. A part of the team agreed to form a micro group to continue the task of monitoring and finding ways around hatespeech given the tools and techniques acquired.

This 2024 we are happy to see an energetic Hate free Nuer youth initiative self organise and continue in action to address the cause.

Self organised micro groups like this form resourceful structures in local dialect engagement and context support.

A combination of recent events have triggered misinformation/disinformation fueled Hate Speech.

It therefore calls for everybody to be extra observant and filter information they consume.

Do not just post or share information without verifying.

Do not fall victim to manipulation.

Do not be a standerby in the face of wrong narratives being shared.

About #defyhatenow

#defyhatenow is an initiative that works on creating frameworks for enhancing trust between stakeholders in Africa through mobilizing civic action against all forms of hate speech, misinformation, human rights violations, and incitement to violence. The initiative is considered one of the leading entities that works on providing data-driven solutions to the problem of hate speech, fake news, and misinformation in Africa, working at the nexus of technology, peacebuilding, and human rights. #defyhatenow's team of researchers, designers, data analysts, and programmers have a wide range of experiences and are currently leading flagship projects in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Cameroon, and Kenya.

#defyhatenow was initiated by r0g_agency for open culture and critical transformation gGmbH (Berlin) in response to the sudden and prevalent hate speech on social media platforms in South Sudan at the start of the conflict that erupted in the country in December 2013 and again in July 2016.

Since the initiative began its work in 2014, the staff have provided extensive capacity-building programs for civil society, humanitarian agencies, the media, the private sector, and government agencies in the region. Through these programs, #defyhatenow has reached over 300,000 people with essential hate speech awareness and knowledge on the impact of misinformation. #defyhatenow is also invested in nurturing a community of young people through fellowships. #defyhatenow Fellowships provide youth activists and community leaders with resources and expertise that enable them to tackle hate speech online and offline; thereby bringing together grassroots organizations and youth groups to create a healthier public discourse and prevent conflict among communities. #defyhatenow has had over 50 fellows across its countries of operation.
