AGAINST HATE

“Aviva” comes from the Hebrew (hyv) and means: to preserve, to make more alive, to keep the flame burning, to enliven, to renew and to purify.

— AVIVA18 Association

Hate speech

is not an opinion.

We map, we name, we document, we act, we protect and we interrupt

AVIVA18 is an independent association dedicated to the systematic monitoring of incidents, to public education and to direct action against hate speech, antisemitism, racism in all its forms and other discriminatory practices.

We work alongside companies, schools, institutions and public and private organizations — before, during and after the crisis.

In prevention, we train, guide and build capacity.

In crisis management, we identify patterns, support victims, structure institutional responses and pursue accountability when the case requires it. Because fighting hate takes method, presence and institutional courage.

Hate speech destroys. It wounds. It is the forerunner of concrete violence.

It cannot be normalized.

When incidents are tracked systematically, they reveal structures — and structures have people accountable for them.

Hostile behavior leaves recognizable traces. Our continuous monitoring methodology detects these patterns both online and in person — and works with structured records, not a report of suspicions.

The invisible becomes visible.

AVIVA18 operates as an institutional practice unique in Brazil: systematic monitoring, victim support, public education and accountability — integrated into a single method.

/ Four integrated fronts

We identify.

We document.

We protect.

We support.

We act.

• Corporate Protocol

Companies without protection protocols are exposed companies.

We deliver diagnostics, leadership training and internal protocols — institutional shielding before an incident turns into a crisis and into criminal and civil liability.

We guide companies before, during and after hate incidents.

Courses and training for students — from elementary school to university. Tailored to each age group.

Training and capacity-building for educators, adapted to the principles of each educational institution.

Private groups, independent of any educational institution.

Education teams are prepared to recognize and interrupt discriminatory speech before it becomes a crisis. They become able to recognize discriminatory patterns and activate safety protocols.

Students gain access to knowledge about bullying, digital safety, discriminatory speech and much more. All tailored to each age group.

If we are called in after an incident, we step in with crisis management.

• Education Project

Strategic Litigation

Legal accountability for those who spread hate, with special attention to antisemitism, which often appears disguised, coded, packaged as political criticism, meme, irony or “just a joke”. The form changes. The target does not.

Our legal work is technical, careful and humane: it supports the victim, organizes the case, preserves evidence, structures the appropriate measures and pursues accountability through institutional and judicial channels.

This also includes continuous monitoring of social media, and effective measures whenever the case requires them.

Advocacy

When confronting the problem calls for strategic advocacy, qualified public engagement and a firm defense of rights, guarantees and the boundaries of civilized life.
