Challenge
For our 2023-24 campaign we're asking Reddit, Kik, and the Saskatoon Public Library to do more to keep their users safe from the harms of sexually violent materials online.
We're also featuring our Choose Change Local initiative, a chance for you to inspire local businesses in your neighbourhood to become Change Makers!
Join us in challenging the harms of sexually violent images.

Change Makers
We invite you, as part of the Choose Change campaign, to congratulate and commend these leading organizations.
After meeting with the Hamilton International Airport they decided to filter their Wi-Fi from pornography! Here is their statement:
The John C. Munro Hamilton International had already implemented several measures to protect passengers and employees at the Airport, so it made sense to enhance that with additional filters to prevent access to pornography and related content via the Airport’s public wi-fi. Hamilton International appreciates Defend Dignity bringing this issue forward and for their efforts to create safe and healthy public spaces.
