Wondering How to Save Money for Giving Tuesday? Imagine This:
It's a Friday night and the weather is getting colder. It's the perfect time to sit down with family and watch a movie. You scroll through the endless sea of movie streaming platforms as your family debates over what to watch. While you're doing this, you come to the realization...
"Wait a minute... How many streaming services am I paying for? I don't even use all of these!"
Maybe it's time to cancel those dormant subscriptions and donate that money to NCOSE on Giving Tuesday!
Giving Tuesday is a global campaign that encourages people to do good. It is a day dedicated to charitable contributions worldwide.
Please mark
December 3rd
on your calendar and be prepared to give! Any dollar amount you can contribute has an impact in the fight against sexual exploitation.
Keke Palmer Opens Up About Experiences with Child-on-Child Harmful Sexual Behavior
Actress Keke Palmer has been spreading awareness about a challenging topic: that the perpetrators of child sexual abuse
aren't always adults–often, they're other kids.
This is called
child-on-child harmful sexual behavior.
And it's not uncommon. Research shows that male adolescents aged 10-17 are responsible for
35%
to
65%
of child sexual abuse contacts.
Did you know that pornography is a key factor in fueling child-on-child harmful sexual behavior?
A longitudinal study
following 10–15-year-olds over a period of three years found that
exposure to violent pornography predicted a nearly
six-fold
increase in self-reported sexually aggressive behavior later on.
To be very clear: violent content is
not
a small subset of the pornography kids are seeing.
A 2022 study
found that
52% of teens exposed to pornography reported seeing violent forms of pornography
such as choking (36%), someone in pain (37%), or depictions of what appears to be rape (19%).
Considering that
children often learn by observing and imitating the behavior of others
, is it any wonder that pornography is teaching them to sexually aggress against other children?

5 Types of Image-Based Sexual Abuse You Should Know About
Imagine you’re going about a normal day when you get a message telling you there’s a naked photo of you going around online. How would you feel?
And how would you feel if it was a photo that you had
never even taken?
Gabi Belle, a 26-year-old, said she felt
“yucky and violated”
when she
unexpectedly found herself in a situation like this.
The image, which showed her standing naked in a field, had been
forged
using AI.
In trying to get the picture taken down, she realized there were about a hundred photos on various websites, including several pornography sites. Imagine how violated you would feel, knowing that forged naked photos of you were being viewed by potentially thousands of people on pornography sites.
Even after Belle successfully got the original images taken down, more have continued to pop up.
What if forged images of you harmed your career prospects? What if your family, friends, or coworkers saw them? What if every time you finally got one photo taken down, more popped up in their place?
Unfortunately, countless individuals—average individuals like you—are being victimized through image-based sexual abuse (IBSA).
Here are five types of image-based sexual abuse you should know about.
