We are offering a webinar as a professional development opportunity for health and community workers. This webinar will explore how pornography is impacting on young people and what we can do to address it.
Readily available and aggressively marketed online, pornography has become a default sexuality educator for many young people, with serious implications for their capacity to negotiate free and full consent, for mutual respect, sexual health, and gender equality. The most popular, mainstream pornography commonly depicts aggression towards women and sexual violence. Pornography suggests that violence against women is sexy. It has become a violence prevention issue we cannot afford to ignore.
