Thank you to all cause members for your support. ECPAT-USA is committed to stopping the abhorrent practice of child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Commercial sexual exploitation includes prostitution, pornography, trafficking, child sex tourism, child marriages and forced marriages. ECPAT-USA focuses primarily on three issues: protecting the rights of American children, protecting foreign children who are trafficked into the United States, and stopping child sex tourism. Among other projects, we are currently working to increase support of The Code of Conduct in the travel and tourism industry. Please check our website from time to time for updates on our work. You can learn more about The Code at www.thecode.org . We hope for your continued support of our cause and thank you once again. If you would like to be on our mailing list, send an email to ecpat@ecpatusaorg. Thank you again for your support.

My whole life has been affected by porn. It destroyed my family and destroyed many, many lives of those who I hold dear. Innocense is lost b/c of this industry. It has robbed many, many people I know of their childhood, their trust and faith, and their dreams.
Not one facet of the victims' lives goes untouched by this. How a person makes day to day decisions is affected....a lot of us who are affected become drug addicts or alcoholics -- trying to cope with the insurmountable array of emotions that there are no words for.
We sabotage our own relationships when overwhelming fear over rides rationality and/or reality. We fear we are not loved for who we are, but by what we look like. Some of us become what we hate the most -- strippers, prostitutes, playboy pin-ups because we have devalued ourselves.
Some of us never get beyond being the victim...causing us to easily be victimized again and again and again.
I have seen so many lives stripped of happiness, and of so many other things b/c of this and this alone. So many people cannot function or live a normal life b/c of what the porn industry has done to them. It creates child molesters, rapists, broken marriages, broken homes, broken hearts, and broken lives and puts more women back into this industry b/c they are taught to value themselves as objects and are taught that this is acceptable behavior and that this how they are loved.
This is a very dark and sick industry that destroys people in many ways. There are no limits to it's usage from it being used in simple advertisements of all variety, in music videos, tv shows for all and any age group, movies, cartoons, magazine covers, music lyrics, and there are even women and children who walk around looking like advertisements for the industry themselves -- in order to draw that kind of attention to themselves. It is really heartbreaking and sad.
Society as a whole needs to change so there isn’t such an emphasis on how one should look, dress and act. Society as a whole needs to be re-taught what respect is -- respect for themselves and for others.
It has to start at home.

How else can I help if volunteer programs aren't available in the U.S.? I'd like to work directly with children, in crisis stricken areas, and will travel outside the U.S.

I cannot count the number of people I know whose relationships have been burdened, and even destroyed, by pornography. A shocking number of churched middle school and high school students have admitted to viewing porn on a regular basis. My prayer is that porn will no longer be taken lightly or as a joke. Heather, I say that we should pray and discuss this issue inside and outside the church. We need to remind people of the damage it does to males and females, young and old....Christian and Non-Christian. We need to remember that none of us are above any sin and that all of us could fall into temptation. But we also need to remember that this is a spiritual battle. Let us stay strong, and sensitive, spread the Good News that Jesus Christ can deliver people from ANY addiction. May God receive all the glory and honor and praise!

I agree that it is heart-breaking and soul destroying. I also agree that the best way to fight it is to pray against it, to pray everyday for the men that you know, husbands, brothers, fathers, etc, that God protects them from the huge temptation that pornography is, because it is everywhere unfortunately and it's all too easy to stumble upon it without meaning to and get caught up in it.

I have had a group going for several months entitled - stop child pornography. My second husband spent all of our time together looking at porn and as I later discovered child pornography. 5 year old girls being abused. He has of course blamed it all on me. I took him to the police, who now think I am cruel and nasty. I am the one who has been vilified, whilst he has been free to live his life anyway he chooses. and he is. I am now divorced from him, thank god, but he owes me thousands of pounds, which he is refusing to pay - since I lost him his job. I informed them he was on the sex offender's register, but of course no one was to be told - so what's the point.

I have been made the culprit - whilst many many people are supporting him.

I hate pornography of all types. It undermines women in many different ways. I will never have another relationship again because of him and the way I have been made to feel about myself etc...

To him the videos of children being abused were just images and not real people!!

So I support your fight. But not many people really care - very few people have joined my group and many are leaving. It seems to be that only people in Canada and the US are active on these matters - certainly not in England.
