In the draft resolution, after paragraph 12.1.5, insert the following paragraph:

"address, within the framework of UHC, the problem of early exposure to pornography, its impact on children's mental health and psychosexual development, and the risk of compulsive and aggressive sexual behaviour in children and adolescents;"

Explanatory note

Links have been documented between child and adolescent exposure to pornography online and subsequent mental health problems, addictions, and behavioural disturbances. UHC must recognize and respond to this emerging threat to child and adolescent development and to public health generally.
