  • Fighting Hate Speech, Balancing Freedoms: a Regulatory Challenge
    Fighting Hate Speech, Balancing Freedoms: A Regulatory Challenge —Maya Mirchandani* The right to free expression is the heart of a democracy. It is necessary to ensure minimal government regulation in the communication of ideas, especially when it comes to diverse opinions and dissent. Freedom of expression entails the individual’s right to participate in decisions that affect him/her and the public’s right to unrestricted access to information that enables an informed decision to assist democratic decision-making and self-expression. Thus far, in instances of legal challenges to free speech and the need for civil discourse, the Supreme Court of India has been careful to avoid judicial overreach by clearly dictating its intention to function under the purview of existing laws, and a legal interpretation of the ambit of ‘reasonable restrictions’ as outlined in the Constitution of India. There is reluctance in creating exceptions since greater value has been accorded to expression. The explosion of social media, the absence of filters in social communi- cation, the credibility crisis of mainstream media and the spread of fake news and propaganda have all combined to create an environment in which the stifling of dissent is done not necessarily by the state, but by the public itself via hate speech, personal abuse and threats of violence. Hate speech relies on stereotypes which can carry on from historic ideas or sym- bolism usually directed towards minority groups (races, caste, gender, etc.). The prevalence of hate/extreme speech and the inadequate response to it by both the public and the state pose a challenge of definitions, of the need to for clarity on what reasonable restrictions mean and on ensuring that the response to it be principled and not whimsical in order to suppress what we don’t like to hear.

  • Friday, October 12, 2018 at the Tata Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point, Mumbai
    Supported by Friday, October 12, 2018 at The Tata Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point, Mumbai FOREWORD It is ten years since we launched the Laadli Media Advocacy initiatives at the national level. In these 10 years we have grown into a movement with media acknowledging the initiatives and the awards as valuable. The ready support of media and advertising leaders as jury members, resource persons and advisors is heartening. Once again our heartfelt gratitude to International Advertising Association (IAA) for facilitating the South Asia Awards. We welcome the award winners from Mauritius, Nepal and Pakistan. We are sure, together, we can make gender sensitive media and advertising a reality. However, there is a lot that has to be done to address the issues that women face within organizations, even today. There is a need to have mechanisms to ensure that organizations have work cultures that provide safe work environent to women. A study done by Population First in Media and Advertising agencies revealed that Internal Complaints Committees are conspicuous by their absence. In the coming years we would also be addressing these issues through our advocacy initiatives. We are thankful to UPL, BAJAJ Group, Bank of Baroda, Tech Mahindra Foundation and Cipla for supporting the South Asia Awards. We are thankful to UNFPA and UNGC for joining us as cause partners. We are grateful to NCPA and SPENTA for their continued support. Each year we are excited to read entries that make us sit up and take notice of what is happening around us. Whether it is the ‘Ruwathis’ – the live in maids of The North-East or the ‘Rudalis’- the professional women mourners, the diversity and range of issues covered is amazing.
