In cooperation with the Human Rights Defender of Armenia, three awareness-raising videos on combating hate speech have been prepared. The videos will be massively disseminated via social media and TV channels in Armenia.

The core message of the three videos is that democratic societies are built on the values of respecting human rights and human dignity. The first video shows that hate speech eventually hits the one who spreads the hatred, while the second video affirms that hate speech does not relate to freedom of speech. The third, final video tends to elaborate on the role of the Ombudsperson Office in combating hate speech. The videos are prepared in the Armenian language with English subtitles. The videos can be found via this link.

These awareness-raising videos on combating hate speech have been prepared in the framework of the project “Strengthening the access to justice through non-judiciary redress mechanisms for victims of discrimination, hate crime and hate speech”, funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe in their Partnership for Good Governance II.
