Professor Hong Sung-soo (Professor of Law at Sookmyung Women's University and Member of the Gender Equality Committee) delivered a lecture titled "Is There a Freedom to Hate?" The session examined hate speech, its human rights implications, and two approaches to addressing it: regulation and public dialogue.
The lecture sparked thoughtful discussion on how to respond to hate speech and concluded with a lively Q&A session.
Human Asia extends its sincere thanks to Professor Hong Sung-soo and everyone who participated in this Human Rights Academy. We look forward to your continued interest and support for future Human Rights Academy sessions.
