VOX POP: HATE SPEECH IS…
Hate speech is a serious problem that has long affected society. Young people are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims because they are more likely to be exposed to social media. They can also play a role in ending hate speech. In Vox Pop, we see how young people are affected by hate speech and how they recognize their role.
Twizeyimana Vivens
Hate speech is when someone gives
you nicknames for negative reasons (in
my case, others discriminated against
me because of my disability), but I did
not create myself that way. Therefore,
I can advise society not to discriminate
against people based on disability,
size and other things. We must treat
everyone equally with respect and
love.
Mutoni Ines
Hate speech is offensive language
aimed at someone based on their size,
skin colour, and origin, for example
in our society; An illegitimate child is abused and given the name
“Ikinyendaro”. We have to treat
everyone with respect to everyone,
regardless of skin color, height, weight,
or background.
Emima Tuyumwire
Words can lower self-esteem. For
example, words that are popular
among young people like Nta myaka
ijana / Nta gikwe etc. These words
make people lose hope in life or some
even think of committing suicide
because they see no reason to live
anymore.
Shyaka Jessy
I grew up in Uganda and at a young
age, I was not proud to be Rwandan
because of hate speech, when I hear
people say I am from a country where
they kill people and it hurt me a lot.
As a result, I did not learn my native
language and lost confidence. Later,
I decided to join the fight against
genocidal ideology and hate speech.
I would like to encourage young
people to take a stand against hate
speech so that what happened never
happens again.
