FRC is glad to join with our friends at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) in reminding everyone that this is National White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Week.
As NCOSE notes, WRAP week "brings together hundreds of national, state and local groups, along with driven concerned citizens in a massive effort to educate the public on the harms from pornography and the many resources available to aid those affected."
As FRC has argued in the past, "Pornography has spread like a plague in our nation. It has moved from the margins of our culture to the mainstream, attacking marriages, families, and communities. Worst of all, it has stolen a time of innocence from our children."
Throughout the week, NCOSE is streaming a number of events on such topics "Teaching Kids Digital Literacy: Tips for addressing pornography & other online dangers" and "Hate + Sex + Technology + Apathy: A Discussion about Pornography, History, Culture and the End of Love." You can watch them, at no charge, by going to http://endsexualexploitation.org/wrap/
FRC also offers some great resources on how to fight pornography, including the following:
The Effects of Pornography on Individuals, Marriage, Family and Community (publication from FRC's Marriage and Religion Research Institute)
The Link Between Pornography, Sex Trafficking, and Abortion (video of a presentation by the Director of FRC's Center for Human Dignity, Arina Grossu)
Pornography and the Brain: Public Health Considerations (video of a presentation by neurologist Dr. Donald Hilton)
And go to "Pink Elephant Resources," which provides resources to those wrestling with pornography addiction and mentorship guidance for those wanting to help pornography addicts.
The battle against pornography can be won, in both individual lives and in our culture. For those not engaged in the fight, WRAP Week is a good time to start.
