Section 1: The Diagnosis
The assessment serves as the foundation for developing any anti-rumours initiative or strategy, aiming not only to identify rumours, discriminatory narratives and hate speech related to SOGIESC, but also to understand the social, institutional and local contexts in which they emerge, the factors that sustain them, and their implications for equal dignity, inclusion and living together. It also helps map existing initiatives, key actors and the main challenges and priorities to be addressed through anti-rumours actions and strategies.
The following map of Section 1 offers a full overview of the Section's structure and tools, including information on how each should be used:
Tool 1: Structure for a SOGIESC diagnosis

Tool 3: Context analysis framework
Understanding the social, institutional and political context that shapes local realities.
Tool 4: Map of identified narratives, prejudices and hate speech
Analysing narratives reveals what is being said, which people and communities are affected, how narratives spread and the impacts they produce.
Tool 5: Map of key actors and potential partnerships
A structured framework for identifying strategic actors, new allies and opportunities for collaboration.
Tool 6: Participatory workshop for the validation and categorisation of challenges
Conducting a participatory workshop to collectively cross-check the challenges identified during the process and identify any possible gap.
Tool 7: Challenge prioritisation matrix
The identified challenges must be classified and prioritised, facilitating their translation into objectives, strategic lines and actions.
