International Day for Countering Hate Speech: A Voice for Humanity in Times of Pain

On June 18, the world marks the International Day for Countering Hate Speech — a day to reject discrimination, racism, and incitement in all its forms.

But today, we face more than words. Hate is bombing cities, starving children in Gaza, and fueling wars like the one between Ukraine and Russia. It is not just speech — it is destruction.

Now more than ever, we must stand for peace, justice, and human dignity. We must fight racism, terrorism, and all forms of exclusion — especially in the Middle East. This day is not just symbolic  it is a cry for action.
