The No Hate Speech Network was founded in 2019 by human rights activists and organisations to continue the work and initatives of the Council of Europe’s No Hate Speech Movement.
Our purpose
The No Hate Speech Network aims to prevent and counter hate speech by mobilising and connecting individuals and organisations to act in support of human rights and democracy online and offline. It empowers young people and relevant stakeholders to think critically, act against hate speech and provide support to people targeted.

Who are we?
The network consists of indvidual and organisational members who work together to reach our aim. The members are the highest decision making body of the network and meet for the yearly general assembly where they approve strategies, budgets and elect the executive board.
The executive board is responsible for the daily functioning of the network and consists of 7 people from a variety of countries and contexts. The board has also a representative function and work to promote actions against hate speech on an international and local level.
The network offers opportunities for participation in networking and learning activities for all people who want to act against hate speech and for human rights and democracy.
