December 2024: Standing Up to an Unregulated Porn Industry

Culture Reframed is the premier science-based, global organization working to stop the emotional, behavioral, and sexual harms of pornography to children and youth. Join our online community to receive updates on our work, announcements of upcoming events, and the latest news related to pornography and youth.

At our virtual conference earlier this month, we were joined by hundreds of individuals from around the globe who share our deep concern for today’s youth, and the mostly unregulated digital world they face. It was wonderful to see and hear from so many people who feel like we do.

The mounting evidence of pornography’s negative impact on emotional and sexual health, relationships, and well-being brings urgency to our efforts. But, while the challenges are significant, there is hope. With community support, we can foster a safer digital environment where children thrive free from the damaging influence of pornography. Below, take a look at some of the key ways our community is addressing the harms of pornography on youth right now.

You can be part of the solution. We invite you to contribute to our year-end giving goal. Donations make our work possible, and your generosity will have a tangible impact on the well-being of youth and future generations.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we build a movement that safeguards young people from the many harms of pornography. We wish you a joyful and restorative holiday season, and we look forward to continuing our crucial work together in the new year.

Warmly,
The Team at Culture Reframed
