Our Watch has released an important new report about pornography, young people, and preventing violence against women, with results from their survey with almost 2,000 Australian young people.
Pornography is now the most prominent sexuality educator for many young people. Most young people discover porn well before they encounter sex – perhaps even before they have kissed or held a partner.
It’s time we talked (formerly Reality & Risk) is a violence prevention project that supports young people, parents, schools, government and the community sector to understand and address the influence of pornography.
