This Week is White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Week

Every year during the last week of October, we look forward to participating in WRAP week with so many advocates and allies around the world. WRAP week was started in 1987 and since then many groups have joined and participated, giving the campaign a life of its own!
Usually this campaign involves wearing a white ribbon for the week (or on your car, like the founder Norma Norris), but this year we're working as best we can virtually!
To participate in WRAP Week virtually, share your white ribbon online by sharing the truth about pornography via social media using #WRAPWeek and #PornHarms.
We look forward to building momentum, raising awareness, and creating change in the movement this week!

Groundbreaking Training on Public Health Harms of Pornography Launched in Liberia

Our former International Fellow from Liberia, Alvin Winford, is continuing to do great things in his home country!
As Program Manager of the African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse, he has built and launched trainings for government, NGO, and community leaders on the public health harms of pornography.
Prior to this first training, child advocacy organizations in Liberia had received little to no training on the imapcts of pornography.
We're thrilled to see the movement growing in Liberia and would love for those who are working internationally to get involved in their home countries as well by connecting with the International Centre on Sexual Exploitation.

Children are being exposed to pornography younger and younger, all while their brains and sexual templates are still developing.
In our Public Health Harms of Pornography Research Summary, we present research that shows pornography has neurological, psychological, and social harms.
It's important that this research is shared widely and used to inform parents, educators, and legislators alike!

Remembering Collin Kartchner, a Giant in The Movement Against Sexual Exploitation

Last week, the movement to end sexual exploitation lost a very special advocate.
Collin Kartchner is remembered for his zing, energy, and fierce activism. He was a champion of mental health and one of the most influential voices fighting for kids growing up in this tech-obsessed world.
Collin founded #SaveTheKids, and helped parents and kids realize the harms of smart phones, Snapchat, Tik Tok, and more. His work altogether was a powerful call to #ProtectChildrenOnline.
Let's honor his life by keeping his work going!
