Description:
What is very disturbing is the fact the porn used addiction used to be associated with men - now an increasing number of women are also becoming addicted.

Briefly, S.T.O.P. (Standing Together to Oppose Pornography) is an organisation run by volunteers and formed in 1996 when the Film and Publications Act, which legalised pornography for the first time in South Africa, was enacted. Its focus is wider than simply opposing adult pornography as can be seen from the mission statement: "To promote a society in which children are nurtured in an environment of sound family values and in which women and children, in particular, are protected from sexual crime, sexual exploitation, abuse and violence in accordance with their constitutional rights." In addition to the general public, particularly parents, S.T.O.P. has gained support from schools, churches of various denominations and faiths and like-minded NGO’s and organisations. Through talks and the media, it raises public awareness of the dangers and harmful effects of adult pornography in particular as well as child pornography.
It also facilitates the establishment of support groups for the increasing number of addicts and victims of porn addiction.
I have been involved with STOP for the last 27 years and I have been its full time Director as a volunteer for the last 14 years. I facilitate a men’s support/accountability group in the southern suburbs of Cape Town which has been running for the last +25 years. I continue to offer advice and support to the many thousands of addicts and their families who have contacted us over the years.
I have debated and spoken on issues of pornography on radio and television and regularly been invited to address schools, colleges’, men’s groups as well as churches and other faith-based groups. We have collaborated with organisations such as ChildLine, STOP Trafficking,
Doctors for Life, The Teddy Bear Clinic, Straatwerk, The Joseph Movement and many other NPO’s. I have also presented papers on pornography and the new media and its effects on children at three international conferences.
In the past we have worked in an advisory capacity with the Department for Home Affairs and with the Film and Publication Board.
