This public discussion with guests will focus on manifestations of racism and other forms of hate towards minority/marginalised groups, with an emphasis on hate speech. We will address the interconnectedness of racism, as well as other manifestations of oppression and marginalisation, present in Slovene and European societies, focusing on connecting racism with LGBTIQ+ and gender-based hate. We will reflect on both available and yet-to-be developed strategies of addressing the phenomena of the “Culture of Hate” in a local context.

Moderating: Simona Muršec, Ljubljana Pride Association
