Those films will be run and rerun to see where there were signs of resistance, and where the child seemed to consent.

Dr. Gail Dines, an anti-pornography campaigner in Boston, has founded a nonprofit and launched free, online training courses to teach parents how to help their children navigate a hyper-sexualized culture and build their resistance to pornography. According to Dines, it is almost impossible for children who use technology in their everyday lives to avoid pornographic content; many first encounter it around age 11, and most have seen it by age 18. Pornography has become the dominant form of sex-ed for a tech-savvy generation, and the risks have only intensified during the pandemic. . During their lectures, it became apparent to Dines and her colleagues that parents are unaware of the dangers of the Internet and how to deal with them. The scientific research on porn’s effect on the human brain clearly shows that there are differences in brain activity among regular and problematic pornography users, for example, masturbating to porn desensitizes boys to violence and can lead to erectile dysfunction as well. Furthermore, as most images focus on male pleasure and fantasies, the suggestion to girls is not to expect sexual satisfaction. Experts are likening pornography to cravings for alcohol or drugs among chronic users. With children’s increasing reliance on technology throughout the pandemic, it’s more important to apply filters that aim to block porn. Here is Dines' guidelines for conversations with children on porn:  Children’s curiosity about porn is natural, don’t get angry if you find they've viewed pornographic content. Try to understand how porn has affected them. It is important to learn their emotions and help them to validate those new feelings with empathy. Conversations with your children should be short, and properly timed. Encourage your children to talk about mature topics, try to emphasize that they are young adults. Be understanding of your children. Talking with them can be much more effective than talking at them. For example, summarize what your child just said and use open-ended questions to encourage them to share more with you. Monitor your children’s phone — you can make a rule that devices need to be charged outside of the bedroom. Respect your children’s wishes and don’t post their pictures on social media without their permission.

Faced with mounting pressure, Japan’s government has been forced to confront the country’s huge market in child pornography, raising hopes for a ban on possession of the material. But there's plenty of resistance.

As part of the emerging new research on civic innovation, this book explores how sexual politics and gender relations play out in feminist struggles around body politics in Brazil, Colombia, India, Iran, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Nicaragua, as well as in East Africa, Latin America and global institutions and networks. From diverse disciplinary perspectives, the book looks at how feminists are engaged in a complex struggle for democratic power in a neoliberal age and at how resistance is integral to possibilities for change. In making visible resistances to dominant economic and social policies, the book highlights how such struggles are both gendered and gendering bodies. The chapters explore struggles for healthy environments, sexual health and reproductive rights, access to abortion, an end to gender-based violence, the human rights of LGBTIQA persons, the recognition of indigenous territories and all peoples’ rights to care, love and work freely. The book sets out the violence, hopes, contradictions and ways forward in these civic innovations, resistances and connections across the globe.
