Together Against Digital Violence: HateAid Workshop Invites More Solidarity Online
Digital violence directly affects many people or those around them. Hate comments, unsolicited sharing of intimate content, the publication of personal data, or the distribution of private images leave scars and pose significant challenges for the affected individuals. The free online workshop with HateAid, taking place on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, will show how digital violence can be recognized and how solidarity actions can be successfully implemented online.
Recognizing and Categorizing Digital Violence
Focus will be on various forms of digital violence and their often far-reaching consequences. Together with Kathi Heffe, a psychologist specializing in legal psychology and an expert in victim support at HateAid, the workshop will address hate speech, targeted intimidation, identity theft, and the dissemination of personal or intimate content without consent.
The speaker draws on experiences from direct contact with affected individuals. Her work includes emotional stabilizing counseling as well as safety and communication advisory services. This way, the workshop combines professional categorization with practical impulses for digital daily life.
Prevention, Support, and Digital Civil Courage
The event will not only focus on dangers but also on concrete actions. Participants will learn how to protect themselves preventively, which initial steps are sensible after a digital attack, and where affected individuals can find support.
Another emphasis will be on how witnesses of digital violence can react. The event will emphasize that digital solidarity means more than a single counterargument: it starts with listening, taking the concerns of those affected seriously, and collectively standing up for a respectful digital space.
Online Format with Space for Exchange
The workshop will take place online from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. The compact duration is suitable for everyone who wants to inform themselves, ask questions, and strengthen their confidence in dealing with digital violence. The focus will be on information, exchange, and clear target audience communication for people who want to make digital communication safer and more supportive.
Conclusion: Knowledge Empowers, Solidarity Works
The HateAid workshop connects expertise from victim support with comprehensible impulses for everyday life. Those who want to better recognize digital violence, support affected individuals, and protect themselves will receive orientation and practical food for thought within 90 minutes. Participation is free, but spots are limited. Registering by November 1, 2026, is worthwhile.
