  • Debunque It Episode 4: The effects of online hate on a global scale with Peter Tatchell
    Sep 19 2024

    We are thrilled to share our latest podcast episode featuring an insightful interview with the renowned international LGBTQ+ advocate, Peter Tatchell.

    In this episode, Peter addresses the pervasive issue of online hate speech and stereotypes affecting the Ugandan LGBTQ+ community and beyond. Far too many LGBTQ+ individuals have faced violence and discrimination due to harmful online rhetoric, leading to tragic losses and a climate of fear.

    We emphasize the importance of joining forces to create a safe environment for everyone—one where we can freely express ourselves, access essential health services, and live without fear of discrimination or violence.

    More of Peter's interview will come on October 24, 2024.
