Say no 4 kids petition

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my feelings of horror as I listened to Melinda Tankard Reist speak about the sexualisation of young girls. One of the things that most horrified me was how much material that can only be described as soft porn is placed in front of the eyes of our children. Melinda Tankard Reist shared some deeply distressing examples of this.

I often feel quite helpless when it comes to issues such as this one, so I was really pleased when I was sent a link to an online petition that's been put together called Say No 4 Kids. This petition:

gives you the opportunity to speak out and help effect change to the display laws relating to pornography, so that children and young teens aren’t confronted with inappropriate, highly sexualised imagery as they go about their daily lives.

If you want to add your name to it, you can read the petition and sign it online. And if you're interested in thinking a bit more about what can be done about the wider issue of our society's sexualisation of young girls, WKC has now put some helpful tips and links to other useful sites, like Kids Free 2B Kids up on their website too.
