New report about Online Hate by OHPI
The Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) today released a report Aboriginal Memes and Online Hate.
Priscilla Brice-Weller, Managing Director of All Together Now said of the report, “Memes based on racial stereotypes undermine the hard work OHPI, All Together Now and others are doing to promote the prevention of racism in Australia. This report provides evidence-based and achievable recommendations for all sectors to respond to these hateful memes.”
Launching Episode 3 of our One Parramatta project
The One Parramatta project, funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, provides young people with information about how to speak up when they witness racism in the community and encourages them to reflect on their behaviour towards people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.
