Misinformation, Disinformationand Hate Speech (MDH)
Misinformation, disinformation and hate speech (MDH) are escalating global threats that undermine social cohesion, fuel polarization, and can incite real-world violence, including gender-based harm. The urgency to act has never been greater.
At the EssentialTech Centre we are dedicated to harnessing science and technology to promote sustainable development, support humanitarian action, and foster peace, prioritizing extremely vulnerable contexts.
