Committee Against Pornography fonds

CA ON0034 10-086
Fonds
1972-1995

The fonds primarily contain material related to CAP's lobbying efforts, which involved studying the effects of pornography, compiling reports, and writing letters in an effort to curb the proliferation of material they viewed as violent and degrading to ... »women. They also sought to demonstrate that current pornography laws were not being actively enforced; to do so, they surveyed a number of variety stores in Toronto Ward 3, and pressured Toronto Police to take action. Moreover, CAP argued that illegal material was being allowed through customs, and that inspection fell short of adhering to censorship legislation already in place. Through this fonds, researchers can learn about how the feminist porn wars unfolded in Canada, including debates about the dangers of censorship versus the risk of children's exposure to obscene material. While CAP argued that the display of violent pornography violated the human rights of women and children, the CAP fonds demonstrates that defining obscenity in legislation was both challenging and morally fraught.

Le fonds contient principalement des documents relatifs aux efforts de lobbying de la CAP, qui ont consisté à étudier les effets de la pornographie, à compiler des rapports et à écrire des lettres dans le but de freiner la prolifération de matériel qu'ils considéraient comme violent et dégradant pour les femmes. Ils ont également cherché à démontrer que les lois existantes sur la pornographie n'étaient pas activement appliquées en enquêtant sur un certain nombre de magasins de variétés dans le quartier 3 de Toronto et en faisant pression sur la police de Toronto pour qu'elle prenne des mesures. En outre, la CAP a fait valoir que du matériel illégal était autorisé à passer la douane et que l'inspection ne respectait pas la législation sur la censure déjà en place. Grâce à ce fonds, les chercheurs peuvent apprendre comment la guerre du porno féministe s'est déroulée au Canada, y compris les débats sur les dangers de la censure par rapport au risque d'exposer les enfants à du matériel obscène. Alors que le CAP a soutenu que l'exposition de pornographie violente violait les droits humains des femmes et des enfants, le fonds CAP démontre que la définition de l'obscénité dans la législation était à la fois difficile et exigeante d'un point de vue moral. «
