UNICEF Is Not Testing Porn On Children

This May, the Center for Family & Human Rights released an article stating that UNICEF had claimed that pornography was not always harmful for children to view. 

The article alleged that UNICEF’s findings were based on a study that had cited research that took place in 19 EU countries, which supposedly showed that many children reported neither being happy nor upset after viewing pornography. It also claimed that the research stated that some children were happy after viewing pornography. 

This article, and articles that reposted the Center for Family & Human Rights’s article’s claims, spread via social media, with some stating that UNICEF was advocating for children to view pornography. Others claimed that individuals at UNICEF had watched children as they viewed pornography. These posts have gained thousands of interactions.
