83.15 Pornography
This Provincial Resolution is presented for approval for requesting that Provincial Councils urge their respective Provincial Governments to take action —
Whereas, Any extended visibility of pornographic material is completely unacceptable to women insofar as it belittles them;
It works against the movement for equal social, financial and cultural equality of the sexes; and it encourages wife battering and other violent acts; and,
Whereas, It is difficult to define pornography and to legislate against it. The line between pornography and art becomes subjective and prohibitive legislation runs counter to the area of human rights; be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada asks its federates to urge all their members to take part in an immediate move to stamp out pornographic material in Canada — books, magazines, advertising, displays, videos, etc., particularly any displays that might be visible to children.
