Amongst bored high school students, the word "pornography" can capture a room's attention in seconds. Emily F. Rothman, Pornography Literacy Scientist, had this discovery while she was speaking to a group of students about teen dating violence, which happens to affect 1 in 5 teenagers each year. While studying dating violence, "pornography" became a recurring topic. She dove further and discovered correlations between pornography, lack of comprehensive sex education, and sexual violence.
Now Emily speaks to students about Pornography Literacy - teaching them to think critically about the sexual images that they consume from the media in order to build dialogue about safe, healthy sex. Watch Emily's TEDMED 2018 Talk to see how Pornography Literacy can re-shape the future of sexual violence in the US.
