The purpose of BATHE is to act and make change to combat LGBTQIA+ hate speech, discrimination and cyber bullying.
We will do this by advocacy and action, this isn’t a campaign that happens once a year, this is an ongoing effort to stop hate.
Social Media platforms have failed to protect LGBTQIA+ people and that’s not good enough.
Euphoria Social is focused on the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and factors that impact this. That’s why through our platforms and events we aim to empower people by providing them with the tools and connections to act and report hateful and discriminatory comments.
This will be done by us creating educational resources to spread awareness to the wider community, employees, schools, sporting clubs and workplaces.
We have added some images, that we encourage you to share, to help us share our message.
We will be working to create a safe hub to support victims, that will have people to speak to and helpful information.
Further to this, will be pressure the for safety and changes to government policy, but meeting with local governments officials to discuss about this issue and the impacts it has on LGBTQIA+ people. First we will be surveying a target audience to gain some current and relevant statistics and facts.
Funding research to develop programs, workshops and services to make the largest impact possible.
We have a role to play, if we see something, we need call it out.
