Estratégias para combater o discurso de ódio em Moçambique
2025-08-05 14:00 - 15:30 (Europe/Helsinki) | Webinar, President Place 1 Hood Avenue/ 148 Jan Smuts Avenue Rosebank, Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2196, South Africa
À medida que aumentam as vitórias jurídicas pelos direitos das pessoas marginalizadas na África Austral, também aumentam os crimes de ódio e o discurso de ódio, especialmente em países sem proteções jurídicas específicas. As OSCs estão agora a dar o alarme, associando este aumento à retórica política tóxica, às agendas globais anti-género e às redes sociais não regulamentadas.
A LAMBDA e o Southern African Litigation Centre irão organizar um webinar para sensibilizar as OSC e os ativistas sobre o discurso de ódio e os crimes de ódio, as leis e políticas locais, e para desenvolver estratégias de defesa específicas para combater o discurso de ódio e os crimes de ódio.

As legal victories for the rights of marginalised people in Southern Africa increase, so too do hate crimes and hate speech, especially in countries without specific legal protections. CSOs are now sounding the alarm, linking this increase to toxic political rhetoric, global anti-gender agendas and unregulated social media.
LAMBDA and the Southern African Litigation Centre will host a webinar to raise awareness among CSOs and activists about hate speech and hate crimes, local laws and policies, and to develop specific advocacy strategies to address hate speech and hate crimes.

The evolving journey for SRHR: Legal environment affecting key populations in Uganda
2025-09-09 13:00 - 14:30 | Gauteng
SALC has published a Policy Brief, ‘An overview of the legal environment affecting key African populations. The policy brief reflects on the changes in the legal environment affecting key populations, particularly vulnerable and marginalised women, young people, LGBTQI+ and sex workers in Africa, over the past 20 years. The Policy Brief highlights some of the gains made through legislative changes and progressive court judgments that uphold the sexual and reproductive health rights of key populations. However, as highlighted in the Policy brief, serious barriers still exist that hurt the enjoyment of SRHR, including the use of the law to criminalise status and identity, and legal restrictions on access to sexual and reproductive health services.
As part of initiatives to address the human rights challenges of key populations, and improve the enjoyment of SRHR, SALC is hosting human rights training webinars for Human Rights defenders, activists and individuals to enhance knowledge of their rights.
