The signatory organizations and movements continue to cooperate in combating hate speech targeting members of the LGBTIQ community in the MENA region. We are very concerned about the consequences of this hate speech, which was exposed in a report entitled "Hate Speech Spreads like Wildfire" issued today by a number of partner organizations and initiatives, where the report shows that 77% of the monitored sample was exposed to hate speech during the last period, 24% expressed thinking about harming themselves because of the hate messages they received, and that most of these messages were published on the Facebook platform (92%). As for the nature of the messages, they contained insults and defamation (36%) as well as threats (16%), or calls for self-harm and violence (25%). 84% of these messages were from unknown people, 28% from friends, 19% from coworkers, and 17% from family members.
