COOPERHATE project
O projeto COOPERHATE – Abordagem de cooperação multidisciplinar para prevenir e combater os crimes de ódio e o discurso de ódio – visa proporcionar uma abordagem abrangente à prevenção, denúncia, investigação e julgamento de crimes de ódio e incidentes relacionados com o discurso de ódio em Portugal, com foco em:
i) provide a unique perspective on the dynamics of hatred at the national level;
ii) improve civil society and (non-)governmental actors’ understanding of the phenomena of hate speech and hate crimes;
iii) increase the detection, reporting, and assessment of both phenomena;
iv) strengthen the capacity of public authorities and civil society to prevent and respond to incidents related to (and motivated by) hate;
v) promote public awareness (and the empowerment of victims) through a multifaceted approach.
