In 2017, global news feeds were dominated by allegations of sexual abuse in many spheres of society. #metoo
We asked:
A conversation was launched and has been gathering voices ever since. The sexualisation of children, the easy accessibility of sexually explicit material and the normalisation of pornography are harming our young people's physical, mental, emotional and relational health.
Dignify is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in 2020. Registered charity no. 1192067.
The wellbeing of our children is important — Dignify is saying let’s talk about porn. Together as a community, we can shape a new narrative so that children and young people can thrive within healthy relationships, free from the sexual objectification that porn can normalise.
We are working to fufill the mission embodied by The Dignify Charter through:
1. We champion healthy relationships.
2. We challenge the normalising of pornography, particularly its harmful effects on children and young people.
3. We call out sexual objectification and all its negative consequences.
Helen Roberts, Dignify CEO/Founder, leads a core team of people who have a deep and enduring compassion for those caught up in abuse. We desire to make a lasting positive change and are united by our passion to help young people navigate life’s challenges and discover ways to develop healthy relationships free from the harmful effects of porn.
