Mexico City Hub’s Ruíz at Davos: If We Start Permitting Hate Speech Against LGBT People on Social Media, It Will Increase Violence in Real World

EXCERPT:

RUIZ: "I was telling backstage that we are having and facing this problem about feminism, that -- that women are being killed as well, and one in three women in Mexico that are being killed are trans women. So this is something important. I was dubbed in to bring this statistic because it's very alarming, but I think this is important because if we start permitting this hate speech on social media, it could increase also hate crimes on the physical world. So that's why social media is also important for us."
