HateAid

HateAid is the first point of contact for victims of digital violence in Germany. Since founding in 2018, HateAid has supported more than 1500 victims through counselling, security and communication consulting. Besides, organisation offers litigation financing so affected persons can access justice and enforce their rights against online platforms and perpetrators in the digital space. With campaigns, workshops and other public engagements, HateAid’s team also creates social awareness of the destructive effects of digital hatred on our democracy. In 2021 HateAid joined forces with the Alfred Landecker Foundation, launching the “Landecker Digital Justice Movement” to stand up for a democratic internet by financing landmark cases against the digital platforms and advocating for a hate-proof EU legislation that protects victims of digital violence. Gender-based online violence is a specific focus of HateAid's work.
