Your input is important to ensure that the new scheme does not become a vehicle for indiscriminate mass surveillance. \n \nThe consultation will also inform the possible creation of a European centre to prevent and counter child sexual abuse\, which would provide holistic support to Member States in the fight against child sexual abuse\, online and offline. The center could support research into what motivates individuals to become offenders\, evaluation of effectiveness of prevention programs\, and communication and exchange of best practices between practitioners. \n \nBecause the consultation raises both child protection as well as civil liberties issues\, Prostasia Foundation is well placed to host a webinar to discuss the intersections of these issues. Please attend and spread the word—it’s free!

With the ascendence of QAnon it has reached fever pitch—and only now are information gatekeepers taking action.  But censoring the outward manifestations of public hysteria around this topic will only drive it underground. How can child sexual abuse prevention advocates address moral panic at its source\, so that more rational and inclusive policies can prevail? \nIn this webinar you will learn: \n\nWhy major child safety groups manipulate public fear to achieve their objectives\nHow mainstream media discourse on child sexual abuse metastasized into QAnon\nThe signs and symptoms of emotional reasoning and other cognitive distortions\nHow CSA prevention advocates can calm the panic and deliver accurate information\n\n  URL:https://prostasia.org/event/csa-prevention-and-moral-panic/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://prostasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Moral-panic.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201121T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201121T110000 DTSTAMP:20260417T114158 CREATED:20201019T205709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201028T173731Z UID:30683-1605952800-1605956400@prostasia.org SUMMARY:Child safeguarding policies and minor attraction DESCRIPTION:How should organizational safeguarding policies deal with disclosures of minor attraction\, either by adults supervising minors or by teenagers who are among those supervised? \nIn July 2020 the pastor of a large church\, Menlo Church\, resigned after it was revealed that a youth work volunteer—who also happened to be his son—had admitted being sexually attracted to minors\, and that this was withheld from the congregation. Although the facts of this case were unique\, they have raised broader questions about institutional safeguarding and minor attraction. The purpose of the discussion is to establish initial perspectives on this question from a range of people who might have an interest in the topic. \nThe spirit of the discussion will not be debate or cross-examination\, but simply an opportunity for contrasting views to be aired as a first step. The format will therefore be a 5-10 minute contribution from each participant in turn (no interruptions allowed) then a second round in which each participant can respond for a few minutes to what they heard in the first round (also with no cross-talk). Nobody is expected to change their mind or address any specific points except the above question. It is all about framing the topic for everyone’s understanding of the range of views on how this challenge can be addressed. The conversation will be held under the Chatham House Rule.

In this webinar we’ll help you get the conversation started so you can feel prepared to tackle topics like sexual health care\, puberty\, safe sex practices\, healthy relationships\, and more. \nPresenter\nJae Snell is a mental health worker\, a human rights activist and educator\, and researcher who specializes in understanding trauma and paths to recovery\, as well as LGBTQIA+ advocacy and public policy analysis. Jae works on the ground with individuals and communities to understand their unique needs and necessary solutions and policy changes. \nWebinar details will be emailed to you after you register.

(18+) DESCRIPTION:Do you feel ashamed about your sexual interests and want to talk about it in a supportive group? If you have thoughts\, dreams\, or fantasies that may be troubling you\, you can safely “confess” to them here. No limits\, no judgment\, and no real name required. \nParticipants who complete the webinar will learn the following skills: \n\nHow to maintain your self-esteem when your unchosen sexual interests trigger feelings of guilt.\nKnowing when your sexual interests are interfering with your own or another person’s safety.\nFinding others online and offline who can provide you with community and support.\n\nFrom rape fantasies to “Daddy issues\,” vore to cheating fetishes\, you’d be surprised how common unusual sexual interests are. This isn’t an expert therapy session\, it’s a conversation between a group of understanding friends\, and an opportunity to obtain informal advice from a sex-positive perspective. \nSorry\, but due to the sexual content that is likely to come up in this workshop\, it is for 18+ participants only. \nDiscussants\nMeagan Ingerman is a childcare and child development specialist with over ten years as a provider\, tutor\, and consultant. Within the organized kink community she has been an event organizer\, presenter\, and volunteer. She has presented on subjects such as safety in kink\, kink/BDSM for beginners\, and has helped to facilitate discussions about consent and consent violations. \nMaggie McNeill is a writer\, sex worker\, and former librarian. She writes a daily blog called “The Honest Courtesan” which examines the realities\, myths\, history\, lore\, science\, philosophy\, art\, and every other aspect of prostitution; she also reports sex work news\, critiques the way her profession is treated in the media and by governments\, and is frequently consulted by academics and journalists as an expert on the subject. \nFay Brown is a counselor and founder of the survivor support program\, Project Snowball. Project Snowball is a charitable organisation raising awareness by providing: counselling\, group support and education both for children and adults affected by pedophilia or child sexual abuse. We aim to do this using person-centred principles that create safety and belonging\, so that actualisation of potential can be reached.

Failing in any one area can result in endemic bullying and harassment\, an unwelcome environment for marginalized users\, and the exacerbation of some users’ existing mental health problems. \nThis webinar will consider all three elements of building and maintaining an Internet platform that attracts and retains a diverse and happy user base. Participants will also hear how Prostasia Foundation is partnering with fan communities to develop community guidelines that uphold freedom of expression for creators and fans\, while also protecting them from abuse. \nCompleting this webinar will enable you to learn about: \n\nSupporting volunteer community moderators and the development of community standards\nBetter practices in tagging and agegating adult and other triggering content\nDealing with harassment\, abuse\, and dogpiling over fictional content\nHow to identify and provide support to users who may have mental health issues\nImpacts of platform content policies on LGBTQ+ communities\n\nPresenters\nJeremy Malcolm is Executive Director of Prostasia Foundation\, and a lawyer and policy expert with experience in human rights\, child protection\, and Internet governance. He led the development of the Manila Principles on Intermediary Liability and is a member of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group of the Internet Governance Forum. Jeremy advises Internet platforms on the boundaries between free speech protection and child safety\, emphasizing preventative approaches. \nClaire is the co-founder of Fanexus\, an upcoming social media platform that centres the needs of fandoms and indie creators. Due to the increasingly rampant harassment and ever greater push for censorship of artistic freedoms in online fandom and creative spaces\, a focus of Fanexus has become providing a space that guards against cyberbullying whilst permitting a significant degree of artistic freedom compared to most popular platforms. \nCreator\, software architect\, and senior vice janitor of BobaBoard\, Essential Randomness has been living and breathing online communities for over 20 years. Software engineer meets mental health activist IRL\, her online alter ego researches (and creates) sustainable\, decentralized online communities for fandom. Her value proposition is to recreate the fun and excitement of early online communities in a safe\, supportive\, and diverse environment. As required by contract\, she speaks only for herself.

At Prostasia Foundation\, we are committed to researching that question as it pertains to prevention. In MAP Support Chat\, a livechat group for people age 13 and up who have a sexual attraction to minors\, the aim is to get ahead of abuse by providing peer support and resources to people who may be at-risk. Prostasia Foundation has partnered with MAP Support Chat to provide technical\, institutional and financial support to this endeavor. \nJeremy Malcolm\, Executive Director of Prostasia Foundation\, will talk about the history of censorship that has dogged MAP Support Chat\, the organization’s decision to join as a facilitating partner\, some of the technical and legal safeguards that have had to be adopted to enable this\, and the difficulties that have been experienced in public outreach and partnerships in supporting a chat server on such a controversial topic. \nAn administrator of MAP Support Chat will talk about what providing peer support to minor attracted people looks like\, what their needs are\, and connecting that to the needs around prevention as they relate to helping minor attracted people. They will talk about the culture of MAP Support Chat and the MAP community and the challenges and benefits to reaching out specifically to minor attracted people with the end goal of preventing sexual violence. \nLearning Objectives: At the end of this webinar\, you will be able to… \n\nExplore the culture of fear and paranoia in the MAP community and the reasons for it\nIdentify ways of reaching minor attracted people without triggering that fear\nIdentify how reaching out to minor attracted people is related to preventing child sexual abuse URL:https://prostasia.org/event/msc/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://prostasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/logo-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Prostasia Foundation":MAILTO:info@prostasia.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200416T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200416T120000 DTSTAMP:20260417T114158 CREATED:20200313T234355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200314T024903Z UID:24200-1587034800-1587038400@prostasia.org SUMMARY:Defeating EARN IT by offering positive alternatives DESCRIPTION:The EARN IT Act would empower a new National Commission on Online Child Exploitation Prevention (NCOCEP) to enact guidelines on how Internet platforms should prevent “online child exploitation conduct.” Unless they comply\, or take other “reasonable measures” to prevent such conduct\, Internet platforms would face new civil and criminal liabilities. \nChild sexual exploitation is preventable. But there are strong reasons to doubt whether the NCOCEP will be the right vehicle to develop guidelines that are both effective and avoid collateral harms. History has given us cause to be wary of the misuse of “think of the children” rhetoric by politicians advancing a broader agenda of government control of speech and private conduct. \nDuring this webinar we will: \n\nIdentify the guidelines that the NCOCEP may be most likely to put forward\, and explore the likely impacts of these guidelines on key stakeholder groups.\nIntroduce how experts in the United States are working to reduce the incidence of sexually offending against children\, and explain how these initiatives are jeopardized by the EARN IT Act.\nDefine strategies for activists and allies to oppose EARN IT by informing lawmakers about the broader context of online child sexual exploitation prevention\, outside of platform regulation.\n\nLearning objectives: participants will be able to \n\nIdentify the three major flaws in the EARN IT Act according to child sexual exploitation prevention experts.\nExplain why the campaign against FOSTA failed\, and how the ongoing campaign against EARN IT can avoid these mistakes.\nDescribe the likely recommendations of the NCOCEP that will most impact Internet platforms\, and how their effects can be mitigated.

So at what point does kink shaming end\, and legitimate concern begin? This virtual “fireside conversation” will cover dicey topics like: \n\nHow to express your limits without “purity policing” in the bedroom.\nCan ageplay become self-harming for a child sexual abuse survivor?\nIs it OK to confess a desire that would be illegal to enact in real life?\nWhere to obtain help if you fear your partner may cross a line.\n\nJoin our panel for an open\, off-the-record\, roundtable discussion about these important topics.

Prostasia Foundation has also come under fire recently for its suggestion that the insights from the consensual kink community should be welcomed in the development of child protection programs and policies. \nSo is kink really incompatible with child protection? We think not\, and in this workshop\, we can lay out the evidence that shows why sex-positive communities such as kinksters\, consensual non-monogamists\, and sex workers are well placed to be allies in the fight against child sexual abuse and exploitation. But we will also pose some challenging case studies\, to illustrate how it’s not always as simple as just keeping an 18+ sign on the door: \n\nA guest attending a play party at a science fiction convention was confronted about breast feeding her infant at the party\, in a room where no play was taking place. Other guests were concerned that this might get them into trouble with the authorities—but the organizers decided in favor of the mother. Was this the right call? \nA bisexual and polyamorous woman in her 40s became involved in a sexual relationship with her 18 year old tenant\, and on two occasions engaged in sexual activity with him in the presence of her 5 year old son. She claims her son had been asleep on one occasion\, and unable to witness the act on the other. Were any lines crossed? \nA young transgender man was sexually abused throughout his childhood while he was in foster care or homeless. Recounting and reenacting his memories of abuse are now an important part of his sex life for him\, and he seeks out sexual partners who receive sexual pleasure from this also. Should he be stigmatized for this? Should his partners?\n\nBuilding upon work done with Internet companies at a series of meetings in May and June 2019\, Prostasia Foundation is co-developing a set of guidelines for how kinky and non-monogamous people can show their responsibility and leadership when it comes to protecting children from sexual harm\, while standing up for their own sexual freedoms as consenting adults. This event will outline our concept for the guidelines\, present some key learnings from sex-positive child sexual abuse prevention experts that can inform their development\, and invite community input and participation.
