1.Hate speech
Despite it is a famous word in all European countries and it was killed by the search, and even there
are many laws are enacted for it in most of the countries of the world, but we are so far in Egypt we
don't have a single law to stand up against this unguided violence.
Hatred is the first enemy of humanity; we are in Egypt so far we cannot differentiate between
freedom of objection and incitement to the other and even confuse them .Therefore, we believe that
we have a great responsibility to change this concept in Egyptian society, and even the government
and the Legislature to reduce this discourse.
That hate speech is one of the harmful viruses that spread quickly in an environment such as the
Egyptian environment, where the customs and traditions and norms and religious extremism are
making it easier to promote.
Let's start with the definition of hate speech from our point of view:
"This term is used commonly to refer to the call for national, racial, religious or other hatred. In
addition, the issue is, in essence, what is the extent appropriate or acceptable limit to limit the right
to freedom of expression, when the views that are expressed in favor of determining the rights of
others or infringed upon.
Types of hate speech:
1. Religious discourses in mosques that urges to murder and preparing what we can to fight . in
addition to mosque and churches speeches that incite others
2. Incitement and violence against women, given as a weak creature that does not rise to the
rank of men
3. Moral decadence in dealing with gay and lesbians and consider patients and not humans in
addition to incitement to lethality and a degradation of them
4. Incitement against children and their exploitation due to their homelessness or inability to
live a dignified life.
Political disadvantages for those types of speech :
1. Politicians take advantage from this kind of speeches to affect the major groups in the
community and earn their voices
2. spread panic among the people and there is a recent example of this and is incident Abu
Nomros where four people was killed who belong to the Shiite sect in the village of Abu
Nomros Giza Governorate due to the permanent induction of salafism mosques to kill these
godless people losing all the meanings of humanity, freedom acquired by the world during
the previous periods and crises
3. Incitement by the state by charging any of its demonstrators with psychological charges, led
to the growth of hate speech by the ordinary citizen against any demonstrator against
power.
Conclusion and solution:
We urgently need the solidarity of all state agencies and civil society organizations and the people and
all the honorable men of the country to reduce this crime, we must:
1. Use all media Tartuffe to reduce these hate campaigns & it should be adopted by the state or
political parties or human rights organizations to stop such speeches
2. Speed of the enactment of a law that states that anyone who incites to hurt citizen whether
physical or verbal or undercut or work must get punished with a deterrent punishment to be
example to stop such behavior
3. Training for individuals and college students to Establish the concepts of love and humanity.
In adittion, their rehabilitation toward a future refuses to hate and respect the humanity in
collaboration with civil society organizations in the countries that have preceded us in
establishing these concepts to learn ways to solve the problem, and find ways to fit the
Egyptian society from our side as an organization.

1a.Hate speech against sexual minorities
Main goal:
Limiting the hate speech against sexual minorities in the Egyptian society
Project brief:
Under the slogan of "Dignity – Freedom – Social justice" all the masses of the Egyptian
people participated in the revolution that took place in January 25th including sexual
minorities as they thought that their freedom is coming soon but that actually led the
society to clash with them in a bigger clash than before therefore the hate speech against
them got increased in media & social networks which led minorities to incur verbal ,
psychological & physical violence & that’s what the project aim to stop.
Goals:
1. Pressure on the Egyptian government and the Egyptian House of Representatives to pass
a law criminalizing hate speech against sexual minorities.
2 - Create a network to monitor hate speech in the media and various social networks
3 - Create workshops for sexual minorities to teach them how to defend themselves if any
