The project arises against a backdrop of intense political and social polarisation in Mozambique, following the presidential elections of October 2024, which were marked by protests, episodes of violence and the proliferation of hate speech that have deepened social divisions. In response to this situation, the initiative aims to understand, highlight and counteract such rhetoric, focusing on the collective memory of acts of violence and the promotion of narratives of peace.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

MAPPING HATE SPEECH AND PROMOTING NARRATIVES OF PEACE IN MOZAMBIQUE\u00a0(2025-2026)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The aim is to contribute to the promotion of a culture of peace in Mozambique in a context characterised by political polarisation, disinformation and post-election violence.<\/p>\n

The project aims to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Generate critical knowledge and social memory regarding hate speech and the violence associated with post-electoral protests in Mozambique, highlighting their impact in the Maputo and Lichinga corridors, through a process of Participatory Action Research involving communities, social organisations, academia and public institutions.<\/li>\n
  • To strengthen coordination and multi-stakeholder dialogue between community actors, local and national leaders, international organisations and decision-makers, in order to jointly develop strategies to counter disinformation, social polarisation and hate speech.<\/li>\n
  • To link local insights with global dynamics, sharing the project\u2019s milestones and the common patterns between Mozambique\u2019s socio-political reality and the global processes of polarisation and the militarisation of daily life with social and political actors in Mozambique and Bizkaia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
