Apply for this job About us Digital violence is a social challenge. People who experience digital violence are often alone. In most cases, both the personal environment and the authorities are overwhelmed when people are massively attacked online. The platforms rarely take responsibility either. We want to change this - preferably with you at our side. What HateAid does HateAid is a non-profit organisation that has been campaigning for human rights in the digital space since 2018. All those affected who do not spread digital violence themselves can turn to HateAid for counselling. In selected cases, we also support those affected in enforcing their legal claims. We see digital violence as a major threat to democracy. That is why we want to sustainably improve the basic conditions for people who experience digital violence, for example through changes in criminal and civil law or in consumer protection. To this end, we are in regular dialogue with politicians, law enforcement agencies and platform operators and publish position papers and statements. We use campaigns, activities and media work to address the issue of digital violence to a broad public. Variety is important to us and our organisation is in a constant process of becoming a place as safe as possible for all people - we still have a lot to learn and rethink. If this is as important to you as it is to us, we look forward to receiving your application. If you have decided against applying to us for reasons that are neither professional nor content-related, please feel free to let us know via what we can do differently/better.
