- Online porn fuels sexual exploitation and contributes to sexual violence against girls and young women, according to a September 2016 submission from the EFC to the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. The submission asks Parliament to study the public health effects of internet porn and to consider age verification for porn sites, as is being considered in the U.K. We’ve created an EFC video clip ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UEH-p...) and blog post ( http://blog.evangelicalfellowship.ca/...) you can share with your church and your friends to raise these important issues more widely. The video and blog offer quick summaries of the issues and point to http://www.TheEFC.ca/PornographyResou..., where those interested in going deeper can read our new four-page submission “Internet Pornography and Violence Against Young Women and Girls in Canada.”

- A vote is expected before the Christmas break on MP Arnold Viersen’s motion M-47, which calls on the parliamentary health committee to study the public health effects of easily accessible, violent and degrading sexually explicit material online. (See a sample letter in support of this motion at http://www.TheEFC.ca/M47.)

- The EFC is raising awareness of the public health impacts of pornography, bringing in an academic expert for events and meetings on Parliament Hill in November. These events, co-hosted with Defend Dignity, will educate about pornography’s impact on sexual, emotional, psychological and relational health. Details to come.
