International Peace Day
Promoting online peace, raising awareness about cyberbullying, and encouraging people to help build respectful digital spaces.
DIGITAL RESPECT • DIGITAL RESPONSIBILITY
A kinder internet
is possible
Introduction
Universities, online communities, and youth-led digital spaces create opportunities for discussion, learning, and civic engagement. However, these spaces can also be affected by misinformation, hate speech, polarization, harassment, and harmful online behaviour.
Together, we can stand against cyberbullying, hate speech, and online harassment. Learn, report harmful behaviour, and make a positive difference online.
The DARE Crafting: #SlashTheHate project promotes responsible and ethical digital participation among young people.
Together for a hate free digital space

🚀 OFFICIAL LAUNCH
Slash the Hate Campaign Launch
On 3 November 2026, at 3:00 PM, the Centre for Religion, Conflict and Peacebuilding (CRCP) at the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) will officially launch the #SlashTheHate campaign, bringing together young people, university representatives, government officials, partners, and other stakeholders committed to promoting peaceful and responsible digital engagement in Kenya.
About the Launch
The #SlashTheHate campaign will officially launch on 3 November 2026 at the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM), bringing together young people, partners, and stakeholders to champion digital peacebuilding and responsible online engagement.
A key highlight will be the unveiling of a nationwide digital competition inviting young people to create innovative social media content that reflects the #SlashTheHate message. Outstanding entries and winners are expected to be announced at the #SlashTheHate Hackathon in April 2027.
Ahead of the launch, the campaign awareness walk on 30 October 2026 will rally young people and supporters to amplify the campaign's message.
The launch marks the beginning of a broader effort to harness youth creativity, digital innovation, and collective action to counter online hate and promote peaceful digital engagement across Kenya.
WHY IT MATTERS
Words can build.
Words can break.
The internet connects us, but the way we communicate online can affect real people and real lives.
Misinformation
False or inaccurate information shared without the intention to deceive can mislead audiences and create unnecessary fear or conflict. Verify information before sharing.
Disinformation
False or misleading information deliberately shared to deceive people can deepen divisions and spread mistrust. Check sources and share verified information.
Cyberbullying
Repeated harmful behaviour through digital platforms can cause emotional distress. Reject bullying and support those affected.
Hate Speech
Communication that attacks or encourages hostility against people based on their identity can fuel discrimination. Choose respect and challenge harmful language responsibly.
Online Harassment
Threats, intimidation, unwanted contact, and repeated online abuse can damage well-being and discourage people from participating freely.
Violent Extremism
Violent extremism involves supporting or using violence to pursue political, religious, ideological, or social goals. Promote peaceful dialogue and reject incitement to violence.
