What
is White Ribbon Against Pornography
or WRAP?
|
 White
Ribbon's purpose is to increase public awareness of
the harm done by exposure to pornography.
White Ribbon Week
began in 1987 when Norma Norris heard a sermon
delivered against pornography delivered by her
pastor in Butler, PA. Soon after, she conceived the
idea of a simple white ribbon as a symbol of
decency.
Purpose:
To increase awareness of parents and
students about the following facts:
- Many
parents and children/teens are not aware
of the quickness of pornography
addiction, the ease of acquiring
inappropriate pictures or sexual
information, etc.
-
Inappropriate images can't be erased
from the mind and they influence
actions. Children/teens need to abandon
the "everybody's seeing these things"
mindset and be responsible for what goes
into their minds.
- Sexual
addiction can occur within a week and
easily within three months for many
people.
- Entry
into pornography addiction can be
inappropriate swimsuit or lingerie
images.
- "Crash
and Tell" and other Internet safety
ideas can protect children. Knowledge
gives parents and children/teens the
wisdom they need in today's world.

SUPPORT MORALITY IN MEDIA:
As far back as 1970, MIM helped save the
country from an attempt to repeal all obscenity laws.
Since then, MIM's legal team has proposed, helped draft and
helped defend in court countless federal, state and local
obscenity and related laws, including proposing and helping
defend the federal RICO
(Racketeer Influenced &
Corrupt Organizations) -- obscenity law, which is the
"legal weapon" that pornography racketeers fears the most. MIM is also a voice for decency on TV and radio and other
media.
PLEASE SUPPORT MORALITY IN MEDIA.
