What makes you most angry, upset, or frustrated about parenting in the digital age. Think about it and make a mental checklist. Now, shift your focus to what in this world is most worth protecting? Then imagine if the internet would protect children NOT porn? What if you could help make that happen?
In this episode, I talk with Helen Taylor, Vice President of Impact for Exodus Cry an organization committed to abolishing sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of all kinds. Helen helps us understand the intersection between pornography and sex trafficking. As well, she shares a simple action we can take to make the internet a safer place, not just our children, but all children, everywhere.
Protect Children NOT Porn
Protect Children, NOT Porn is a global campaign (focused on US congress) calling for meaningful age verification on all pornographic websites. Helen explains that this campaign grew from Exodus Cry’s latest documentary film, Raised on Porn: The New Sex Ed. A film that analyzes the health crisis aspect of pornography—its impact on the brain, the mind, and the lives of individuals, especially children.
In this episode:
- Root causes. How pornography increases the demand for sex buying & sex trafficking.
- Risk to children. Children are stumbling on graphic content more often than we realize.
- We can do better. We must children from accessing pornographic websites.
- Get involved. Every concerned adult can do something today.
