The internet has transformed childhood and adolescence. Porn has never been more accessible, affordable, anonymous - or easier for young people to encounter. And now, governments around the world are responding. From age-verification requirements to new laws designed to prevent children from accessing pornography, many nations are taking steps to put stronger protections in place. But legislation alone cannot replace the role of parents. We believe you shouldn’t just be having important conversations about pornography; you should feel confident, informed and equipped to have them well. Like the key on a map, our PG Workshop will help you understand the digital landscape your children are growing up in, the changing laws and protections designed to keep them safe, and the practical steps you can take at home. Most importantly, we’ll equip you to confidently guide your children through a world where pornography is increasingly being challenged by law, but still remains only a click away. We’re working towards seeing 100% of parents talking to their kids about porn.
