Online Pornography is a growing issue; the average age of exposure is 9 years old, and 64% of people aged between 13 and 24, are actively seeking out pornography at least once a week or more often. Pornography has been linked to an increase in tolerated sexual harm perpetrated against women, and is quickly becoming Australian young people’s main source of sexuality education. SASS offers specialised professional training to empower participants with knowledge and skills to tackle this difficult topic in their work.
