Combating Hate Speech Beyond Administrative Measure
Analysis of laws and policy dealing with hate speech
Hate speech has become a hot subject during 2015 in Pakistan notwithstanding some ambiguities that make hate speech conceptually and practically a complicated issue. The civil society organizations, Association of Women for Awareness and Motivation (AWAM) and Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), are publishing this analysis for better comprehension and to raise critical awareness about the dilemmas linked to hate speech.
This monograph discusses the phenomenon, manifestations, the laws and policies dealing with hate speech as well as some policy measures taken by the government recently, concluding with recommendations about plugging fissures in the response and reviewing the approach towards hate speech so that this battle for the revitalizations of Pakistan becomes more winnable in favour of people’s progress, democratic process and peace
