Abstract

Fundamental values like human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, and respect for human rights are essential values of a democratic, social and participatory society. Despite this, in the past few years, it is possible to see an increasing of hate speech, racism and hate crimes in many countries of the EU. This paper aims to present the state-of-art of the Portuguese situation regarding to discrimination, hate speech and racism. It was made a literature review of national and international resources, and interviews with persons that have suffered from hate speech as well as experts of the field. Results shows a long way to do to mitigate these phenomena and it is fundamental the intervention of all parts of society: government, organisations, civil society and citizens. The researchers hope that this paper may enrich the knowledge about these concepts and may be useful for the development of strategies to promote a society more equitable.
