Description of the tool

Countering hate speech against LGBTIQ+ people is extremely important, especially when it comes to young people. In their formative years, young individuals are forging their identities and navigating their place in society. It is essential to create safe and supportive spaces for them to freely express themselves, away from the detrimental effects of hate speech.

This Reach&Teach Toolkit is designed to equip youth, youth workers, organizations, and policy makers with the necessary tools and knowledge to combat LGBTIQ+ hate speech effectively. By engaging directly with these groups, we can leverage their potential and create a positive impact on society as a whole.

The Toolkit covers a wide range of topics that are crucial for addressing LGBTIQ+ hate speech and fostering inclusivity.

Through practical and actionable conclusions, this Toolkit encourages a hands-on approach to combat LGBTIQ+ hate speech. It aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice by enabling individuals to implement ideas and strategies in their everyday lives.

Learn about the experiences of more than 30 good examples of case studies and good practices of work in combating LGBTIQ+ hate speech, especially focusing on youth work, organisations and collaboration with policy makers, with practical action able conclusions are presented.

By utilising this Toolkit, we hope to support the celebration of diversity, foster inclusivity, and provide every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, with equal opportunities and respect. Together, we can create positive change to reduce LGBTIQ+ hate speech.
