The call is aimed at supporting projects focusing on preventing and combating racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance, by:
- improving responses to hate crime and hate speech, including but not limited to means of criminal law;
- supporting victims of hate crime and hate speech;
- preventing hatred by fostering tolerance and social cohesion.
Projects may, in this respect, be targeted to address the specificities of particular forms of intolerance, such as Antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred, homophobia and transphobia, antigypsyism, xenophobia and anti-migrant hatred, Afrophobia, hate crimes against persons with disabilities.
Public authorities bear the primary responsibility of ensuring an adequate response to racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance by designing and implementing laws, policies, tools and practices to prevent, counter and, where relevant, sanction their manifestations, in particular hate crime and hate speech, and ensure justice, protection and support for victims. This responsibility concerns first and foremost law enforcement and criminal justice authorities, including police, public prosecution authorities and the courts. Other public authorities, including those in charge of equality, non-discrimination, education, health or social welfare, have also a role to play to contribute making responses comprehensive and effective.
The call for proposals to monitor, prevent and counter hate speech online will support the following priorities:
- Projects aimed at development, studies and analyses of the sociological landscapeand trends on hate speech online;
- Projects on developing online alternative and counter-narratives and promoting the development of critical thinking by Internet users;
- Projects aimed at countering illegal hate speech online on social platforms/Internet companies (As defined under national laws transposing the Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA, on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law) and enhancing transparency on how manifestations of hate speech are addressed in the online world.
Proposals building on the activities relating to the implementation of the Code of Conduct on countering hate speech online are of particular interest.
Projects aimed at research and analysis of the sociological landscape relating to the origin and spread of hate speech on social media platforms are expected to build on prior studies and focus on analysis (including through the quantitative analysis of publicly available datasets) of current or new trends of forms of intolerance online and its path of dissemination, such as extremist ideas leading to violence or hatred against minorities.
