According to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on minority issues, approximately 70 percent of those targeted by online hate and violence belong to minority groups, including Roma, Dalits, persons of African descent, migrants and refugees. Moreover, in today's digital age, online hate speech is a growing threat to peace, tolerance and social cohesion.

UNDP works alongside youth to address hate speech through promoting positive narratives to counter hate speech. Tailored toolkits for citizens, youth, civil society and media are designed to effectively tackle hate speech.
