Let's call the MPs! March 6th, the Sejm will take care of the bill to defend children from pornography

Ladies and gentlemen,

I will talk before the Polish Sejm on Thursday, March 6 – besides on your behalf.

For this day, the first seismic reading – prepared by lawyers Ordo Iuris – of the bill, was planned, providing protection of children and young people from pornography. The adoption of this project, inspired by government already adopted in France and a number of states in the US, will force effective verification of the age of persons entering pornographic sites.

Today, erstwhile specified regulations are missing – the average age in which 12 and 14-year-olds surveyed by the NASK State investigation Institute first encountered pornography is... little than 11 years! 1 in 3 children admitted that they had first encountered pornographic content accidentally. As much as 73% declared that uncovering pornography did not give them any difficulty, and the regular practice of watching pornographic materials declared all 4th (!) 16-year-old.

We must not waste months of large effort of many people of good will who, in sweat, collected signatures for our task among family, friends, colleagues, in the neighbourhood, parishes and communities and local communities. 212,000 Poles signed the task – so more than twice as much as the bill requires!

In order for our initiative to be successful, we must now get Members to support it. No 1 will do it for us. That is why we must mobilize and make the Members aware of how many Poles want to defend their children from vulgar pornography.

It's beyond political divisions. No parent, regardless of political views, wants his kid accidentally to encounter vulgar porn online. It carries a hazard of dependence based on mechanisms akin to those of drug, tobacco, alcohol or gambling. Pornography presents young people as average what perverted, dangerous and risky. According to the most careful estimates of 1 in 3 specified films show sexual force or aggression against women. Pornographic productions normalize betrayal, humiliation and humiliation. Regular viewing of pornography stimulates teenagers to premature initiation and risky sexual behavior.

It is no wonder that the initiative to restrict access to pornography for minors enjoys the support of the majority of the population and the government has already announced their own solutions. Who knows, possibly a combination of social work, initiated by our project, with government work, will be so expected to interact beyond divisions for a good cause.

We will strive to work out the best solutions on which (as it seems) the rulers present depend and which will find designation of parents, grandparents, teachers, educators and all who are at heart the welfare of children!

This can only happen if our proposal is addressed to further committee work. That is why politicians request to feel social force today.

The first most crucial action is the action “Call the MP!”, in which we encourage you and all children on the net to call and compose emails to MEPs and visit parliamentary offices.

Each of us can personally contact the elected associate or Members to make them aware of how crucial their presence in the Sejm will be for the future and encourage them to support our project

In order to aid you in contact with your Members, we have prepared a website on which:

- an example of instructions on how to have a conversation with a associate or an worker of the parliamentary office;

- addresses of parliamentary offices, telephones and e-mails to parliamentarians (divided into voivodships).

A second expression of social force is the website calling on Members, calling on them to rapidly adopt a bill to guarantee the safety of children on the Internet. You can sign it., clicking on the link on the website; stopdrugovidornography.pl

I believe that the engagement of thousands of people who want to effectively defend their children from the perverse content that upsets their psyche will translate into the success of our action "Stop Narcotics Pornography".

We have quite a few work ahead of us in parliamentary committees and parliamentary committees to guarantee that effective solutions that defend children from online pornography are adopted. We must present to Members and to the public the voices of experts, statistics, concrete information on French or American legal solutions.

However, to do this, we will besides request financial support from our initiative and further expert parliamentary work. Collecting 212,000 signatures and bringing the bill to the Sejm has already cost us a large deal – for example, in the form of forms, information materials, banners, travel, meetings and promotion of initiatives in conventional and electronic media.

And we inactive have quite a few work and expenses ahead of us. We inactive request resources to carry out communication activities, to rise the issue, to scope out to Members and the government and to proceed to monitor government that has been developed in another countries protecting children.

These are very circumstantial costs that we cannot cope with without the support of people who want Polish children to be duly protected from pornography on the Internet.

In the erstwhile parliamentary term, the conservative government announced the adoption of a bill designed to defend children from unrestricted access to hard pornography. But then – to the delight of porn business, which earns immense money to destruct lives innocent and unaware of the dangers of watching pornography for young people – the task did not scope the Sejm. Pornolobby won...

Today, thanks to the tremendous work of volunteers who have collected 212,000 signatures under the civilian bill as part of the run "Stop Narcotics Pornography" – The Sejm will address the issue of kid safety on the Internet. The success of our many months of action is at hand. It is adequate to convince parliamentarians to stand on the side of Polish children, alternatively than gaining money from human pornography.

Therefore, one more time I powerfully encourage you to take part in the action “Call the MP!”, sign our petition and support our fight for the young generation of Poles.

With respect

Rafał Dorosinski - associate of the Board of the Institute for Legal Culture Ordo Iuris

P.S. Media has for many years normalized pornography and prostitution, which they present as "normal" work contrary to facts. Meanwhile, the fact is completely different. Pornography dehumanizes man, promotes sexual perversion and risky behavior, normalizing aggression and violence, the victims of which are most frequently women. That is why we must yet effectively defend our children from vulgar content on the Internet.
