Myanmar ICT for Development Organization (MIDO)
Beneficiary description: 

The Panzagar, or ‘flower speech’ civil society movement, of which the Myanmar ICT for Development Organization (MIDO) is part of, believes that the space for civil society to speak out in favour of peace and against pro-violence movements must be expanded. In this regard, Panzagar focuses on three main actions: (1) Mobilizing civil society to develop a consensus that hate speech is socially unacceptable; (2) monitoring various forms of hate speech online as well as in traditional communication platforms (media, religious sermons etc); and (3) working with technology experts to develop innovative measures to counter the effects of hate speech.
