Hate Speech Beyond Borders: Nazila Ghanea at TEDxEastEnd

Nazila Ghanea, a lecturer in human rights law at Oxford, says it is important we don't inadvertently help fuel hate speech by giving air to it.

When hate speech captures our attention in the media, it is usually related to a global story with often blood and long-lasting repercussions. But it is important to distinguish between different kinds of hate speech, and for us as citizens, journalists and policy-makers to craft a "well-calibrated and careful attention to different kinds of hate speech," says Nazila Ghanea.

"In fact, we should sometimes intentionally ignore hate speech,” because otherwise we only help to fuel it.

Watch and share this TEDx Talk to help spread an important message about the role each of us plays fueling or fighting hate speech.
