Campaign For a Commercial Free Childhood Summit
Julie Gale, Director of Kids Free 2B Kids recently travelled to Boston to present at the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood annual summit on the sexualisation of children.
Jean Kilbourne, author of the soon to be released book titled ‘So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualised Childhood and How Parents Can Protect Their Kids' said this:
"I thought I was way beyond being shocked by anything after my 30 years of research on media images -- but many of your images shocked me. It seems the situation in Australia might be even more dire than it is here in the U.S."
