Editor’s note: Although the primary purpose of Mormon Women: Who We Are is to help share information and resources that give insight into the life and beliefs of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I’ve also felt compelled to join numerous organizations and individuals in educating about pornography/sex addiction. We have several resources on our site (e.g., this post) for those personally affected by this struggle, especially for wives of addicts (but there are resources for those dealing with addiction as well). We also have an interest in helping educate parents and citizens everywhere about the harms of pornography and what we can do in our homes and communities to protect ourselves and our children and our schools and our cities from its effects.

We’re a couple of days behind the eight ball on sharing this information, but Porn Harms (Morality in Media) is running a two-week awareness campaign about the harms of pornography (read more at Porn Harms about pornography addictionpornography and harm to childrenpornography’s connection to sex trafficking, and pornography’s connection to violence to women), as well as about sex/pornography addiction recovery. Following is a list of all the events that Porn Harms have held and/or will hold. We encourage you to help spread the word. It’s a simple way to take a stand and help educate people on this topic.

Porn Harms Awareness Campaign: Is pornography harmful? Why? What can we do in our homes and communities to protect people, families, communities from pornography? What can I do if I’m already affected by pornography/sex addiction? What if a loved one is affected by pornography/sex addiction?
