Petition Action

Consider making the Dehumanising of people through the media a hate crime.

Petition Details

The constant dehumanising of human individuals, societies, refugees and cultures in the media is only used to validate negative views of others, resulting in a national lack of understanding and empathy and is harming our society by normalising unjustified hate. The media must be held accountable.
