Ich bin so frei#16 Anna-Lena von Hodenberg über Meinungsfreiheit und wie wir uns gegen Hass im Internet wehren könnenStaffel 1: Mal andere Stimmen hören
„Unser größtes Ziel ist es, Betroffene so gut zu unterstützen, dass sie der Einschüchterung und dem Hass im Netz trotzen“, sagt Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, Gründungsgeschäftsführerin von HateAid. Gemeinsam mit anderen gründete sie im Jahr 2018 das Social Startup HateAid. Einerseits weil so schockiert war wie einfach es ist, Menschen im Netz zu diffamieren. Zweitens, weil sie beim näheren Hinsehen und Nachhören merkte, wie schwer es für die Betroffenen tatsächlich ist, sich zu wehren. So erzählt sie beispielsweise von einem Klienten, der von der Polizei nach H...2021-11-1135 min

Discussing Indian Charter of Patient's Rights“In order to align your life choices with your values, you will need to inquire about the effects of your actions (and inactions) on yourself and others.
