Envision - National Dialogue on Pornography

New Campaign Aims to Start National Dialogue on Pornography

67% of young men and 49% of young women say that pornography is an acceptable way to express one's sexuality. In reality, the women sexualized in marketing, pornography and sex trafficking are real people...in fact, they are somebody's daughter. Somebody's Daughter is a movement initiated by concerned parents and groups who are committed to creating a national dialogue about pornography, and its role in driving demand for sex-trafficking and violence against women and children. The campaign officially kicks off on October 1st in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma Governor, Mary Fallin has declared it She's Somebody's Daughter Day and on that day the first of what is hoped to be many billboards will be unveiled to promote the message. The organizers invite the public to visit the SSD website and blog and interact on the topic via Facebook and Twitter. As the distributor of the DVD, Somebody's Daughter Vision Video is proud to offer our support to this very important campaign. We pray that the dialogue will spread like wildfire throughout the country and that the true story of pornography's impact will be heard.
