Mission Statement 

C.A.S.E. exists to educate and influence society on the effects of pornography. 

History

C.A.S.E. was established in 1974 when a few North York, Ontario citizens met to discuss their concerns about the sexually offensive materials appearing in their corner stores. C.A.S.E. is now a national organization with membership from every province. 

Why We Do What We Do

For individuals to become responsible citizens and to make healthy choices for themselves and society as a whole, they need to be informed and educated. C.A.S.E. helps to inform citizens so they in turn can educate and motivate others to become actively involved in the fight against sexual exploitation. C.A.S.E. is committed to providing this information and education in a full and fair presentation of the facts. 

Only those who speak will be heard

Pornography is NOT a victimless crime

The effects of sexual exploitation have been obscured by the pornography industry and the mass media. 

The truth is, pornography in this high tech age, has treacherously contaminated every vehicle of mass communication. The consequences are deadly: children are corrupted or traumatized; women are debased; men are seduced into porn addictions; marriages are wrecked; sexual violence is encouraged; love, marriage, and religious convictions are mocked; teenage pregnancies, abortions and venereal diseases skyrocket; children have begun to sexually molest other children. 

Common sense should tell us that pornography's distortion of human sexuality plays a key role in the assault of individuals and families. 

Through reliable studies, wide experience from law enforcement and personal counselling reports, we know that the pornography is not the only significant contributing factor but often the triggering cause of: 

1. Child Abuse
2. Violence against women; rape and abuse 
3. Desire for abortion 
4. Drug abuse 
5. Broken marriages and broken lives 
6. Fornication and adultery 
7. Sadomasochism and bondage
   

Achievements of C.A.S.E.:

1. Speak at meetings, conferences and high schools on subjects relating to sexual exploitation. 
2. Deliver presentations at various commissions and hearings including the Federal Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. 
3. Intervened in 2000, in the John Sharpe case. Our argument was essentially that the rights of the child to be protected from sexual exploitation were more important the rights of adults to produce child pornography. 
4. Intervened in 1995, in the Eli Langer Art Case. The case was a seminal test case for the relatively new child pornography legislation Our argument was essentially that the child pornography law was a good law affording protection to children. 
5. Dialogue with police and politicians to strengthen the Canadian laws relating to sexual exploitation. 
6. Compile and print papers dealing with pornography related topics. 
7. Distribute newsletters discussing current issues - now available online.
