Submitted on: 03/08/2014 Power and community: organizational and cultural LGBT responses against homophobia and promotion of inclusion values. Eduardo da Silva Alentejo Library Science Department, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [email protected] Copyright © 2014 by Eduardo da Silva Alentejo. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract: In 2003, Brazil proposed universal resolution against LGBT's discrimination to the United Nations (UN). Only in 2011, UN declared "zero tolerance" against any form of discrimination or violence based on sexual orientation to member countries. Since 90's, Brazilian LGBT community had major influence to develop public policies within society. Brazil took a long journey to reach promotion inclusion goals of Brazilian Program “Brazil without Homophobia”. Cultural and Educational highlights can be measured from an overview of public libraries in places where non-governmental LGBT organizations took part with affirmative actions within public and private sectors. This nationwide survey gathers quantitative and qualitative data on 61 LGBT organizations through semi- structured questionnaire. Brazilian NGOs joined the National Civil Program against homophobia and have promoted actions for the right to culture of the LGBT population. Working groups have been created to support the production of cultural goods and formalize massive visibility events affirmation of sexual orientation under a culture of peace. These groups have encouraged the distribution, circulation and access to cultural goods and services from public and private sectors, including libraries. LGBT NGOs stated that public libraries have contributed to the promotion of LGBT citizens for two main reasons: promoting the participation of the homosexual population regarding the use of the collections in development and also support events aimed at LGBT visibility. -

Dangerous Speech and Social Media Uncharted Strategies for Mitigating Harm Online
Dangerous Speech and Social Media Uncharted Strategies for Mitigating Harm Online Client Organization Center for Strategic & International Studies Advisor Sohini Chatterjee Contributors James Courtright Hanna Homestead Isabelle Lee Daniyar Yerseitovich Nuraldinov Dan Poniachik Jasmine Ramsey Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs, Spring 2020 Capstone: Online Hate Speech & Communal Conflict: Identifying New Conflict Prevention Tools Contents I. Introduction II. Brazil III. Philippines IV. Nigeria V. Policy Recommendations 2 INTRODUCTION 3 Over the last decade, social media has fundamentally changed the way people communicate and access information around the world. While social media platforms provide new forums for constructive dialogue and personal expression, they are also used to proliferate dangerous online speech. Dangerous speech is defined as “any form of expression (e.g. speech, text, or images) that can increase the risk that its audience will condone or commit violence against members of another group.” The characteristics of dangerous speech are that it promotes fear, and is commonly false, causes indirect harm, and is aimed at groups based on a shared identity.1 Overall, the response of governments and social media companies to the problem of online dangerous speech has been inconsistent and stymied by concerns over infringement of free speech rights, lack of will or capacity, and obfuscation over who is accountable for monitoring online content. Social media companies such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter, in particular, have been criticized for failing to address their role in exacerbating identity-based conflict by providing an online platform for dangerous speech. This report investigates how dangerous speech shared on social media has intensified identity-based violence in Brazil, the Philippines, and Nigeria. -
