Creation of a song to combat hate speech and prevent mass atrocities

20 June 2023
Under the guidance of the experts from the two NGOs, local musicians created a song about building a better world, preventing atrocity crimes and eradicating hate speech.

Artistic-cultural manifestations have a unifying potential and are a powerful instrument to engage individuals. The song was broadcasted on several radio stations in the Province Capital Goma and in the Masisi territory. Additionally, the song was made available on streaming platforms such as Spotify and YouTube, allowing broader accessibility and impact beyond the region.

Through its wide reach, cultural manifestations, such as music, play a key role in promoting social cohesion and peace, as they encourage community engagement while reinforcing dialogue on countering hate speech and preventing atrocities.
