The UK Home Office just released the Sexualisation of Young People: Review by 
Dr Linda Papadopoulos. It is a compelling, thorough and strongly evidence-based paper which should be read by anyone concerned about the impacts of the pornification of culture on girls and boys. Getting Real: Challenging the Sexualisation of Girls is cited a number of times (the quote above from the Executive Summary is taken from Betty McLellan’s chapter ‘Sexualised and Trivialised: Making Equality Impossible’). It’s good to see our work acknowledged in this significant report. Given that we share the UK’s cultural DNA, I hope this report will bolster efforts to address this issue here and add momentum to the push for a review of our own Senate Committee inquiry recommendations, which Emma Rush wrote about here earlier.
See also ‘Clamp down on lads’ mags to avoid ‘pornification’ of society, says study’. Also have a look at the following articles: ‘Review into sexualisation of young people published’ , ‘Fears over sexual images and children’, BBC, and the Guardian.
Now in its second printing!

Hi there,
I am hoping to cite this article in my assignment but am having trouble finding the publisher, date and city.
Does anyone know what year, where and who it was published by?
Any advice would be great, thank you!
- It is a fabulous article, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S I have just finished reading ‘Getting Real’; I absolutely loved it, so insightful, honest and thought provoking!
