Description

'Sexualisation', 'pornification', 'corporate paedophilia', 'raunch culture'. What does it all mean? And how does it affect girls? From advertising, art, clothing, toys, games, magazines, and the globalisation of sexual imagery, girls are growing up in the shadow cast by a pornographic vision of sexuality. 'Getting Real' confronts and addresses the sexualisation and objectification of girls and women. Bringing together some of the most informed critics of this harmful cultural practice, it calls corporations, the media and the sex industry to account for creating a toxic environment that harms girls' health and threatens their wellbeing.
