The subject of my speech is "the role of NGOs in educating and protecting social networks against harms such as spreading hatred against minorities." In the Islamic Republic of Iran, for more than 24 years, we have officially witnessed the extensive activity of non-governmental organizations and NGOs. The remarkable response of various popular groups, youth experts, identity groups, minorities, etc., to the capacity and power of NGOs in Iran has been very significant. Also, since then, we have witnessed the regional and international activities of these NGOs in various fields, including in relation to ethnicities, minorities, religions, etc. The dominance of social and virtual networks over relationships has made the use of this opportunity a priority for NGOs to communicate and provide network. In this regard, one of the most important issues in Iran is the intersection of the NGOs and social networks, in relation to increasing interaction, cooperation and friendship between different minority groups with other groups in society. Fortunately, due to this interaction, we see in multicultural Iran the least violent literature produced in relation to minorities compared to other multicultural countries. In some cases where mostly negligently, sentences or caricatures are published in the media against one of the minority groups, we see other groups and NGOs immediately enter and pave the way for softening the atmosphere, detente and ambiguity to vanish the misunderstanding. As a result, I emphasize here that we use our experience in Iran and the accumulation and cooperation of non-governmental groups and social networks to reduce hatred and the literature of violence against minorities.
