The International Day for Countering Hate Speech is observed annually on June 18. This date was proclaimed through a resolution that builds upon the United Nations Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech, which was also launched on June 18, 2019. The day is aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of hate speech and promoting efforts to counter it through education, dialogue, and advocacy. Campaigns like #NoToHate serve as tools to encourage individuals and communities to actively speak out against hate in various spheres, including workplaces, online platforms, and public discussions.
