Richard Hogan: Urgent need to address the type of pornography our children have access to

Pornography today promotes violence against women: our boys are being fed harmful material telling them that girls like to have consent taken from them

"I can’t believe I am going to write this next bit after lobbying for change for so many years but currently there are no barriers to our children accessing hardcore extreme material. Nothing."

I have been an advocate for action against pornography sites for many years now.

When I was a child growing up, pornography was a magazine of static images found on a dusty top shelf in a city shop. In the 90s we had Eurotrash — an irreverent look at sexual habits throughout Europe. It was funny and harmless.
