Abstract:
According to the latest Jo Cox Commission report, hate speech disproportionately affects women, migrants, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community. This paper aims to offer a multidimensional and intersectional interpretive framework to guide the analysis of the hate speech phenomenon, with the objective of designing educational actions to counter it. Given the recognized yet fluid nature of this issue, emergency measures and legal/punitive approaches have proven ineffective. Building on the contributions of gender and queer studies to the field of discrimination, the intersectionality paradigm presents a promising tool for developing prevention strategies and law enforcement practices that effectively address one of the most pressing challenges in the socio-digital landscape. In line with this approach, an educational experience in a fifth-grade primary classroom is presented, aimed at raising students' awareness of inclusion, diversity, and the mindful use of language. This demonstrates how structured educational interventions can help prevent hate speech from an early age.
