On March 19 at the United Nations in New York, the Holy See and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) convened a panel of legal, mental health, and pastoral experts to address what they call an urgent and growing crisis: the rise of internet pornography and its profound harm to women, children, and society at large.

The gathering aimed to shine a light on the increasing prevalence of explicit content online, its impact on youth, and the role the Church and society must play in response.
