From the site:
Over the past few decades, the portrayal of children in the media has changed dramatically. This webinar will provide a clear overview of these media changes and focus on how children have been portrayed in pornography. The webinar will also address the impact of these media changes on our children and their development. These changes also deeply affect our ability to prevent and to end child sexual abuse. Participants will hear relevant research, practical applications of this research and promising preventive actions.
