Tackling Hatred in Society

Have your say and have an impact on policy

How can I join the EU-wide debate on tackling hatred in society?

What can we do about hate and how can we enhance mutual respect in our societies? Do you have a personal experience or idea to share on how we can enhance mutual respect in our societies? Do you have a recommendation that can support the European Commission’s future work on combatting hate speech and hate crime?

We would like to hear your views on tackling hatred in society. This is a space for respectful debate where you can share your views and engage with other citizens.
