About Me

On Saturday 26th January 2008 Rock Against Child Pornography held its first UK gig.
It was a resounding success & netted a total of £853.38 for the NSPCC Child Line in Devon. Below are some images of the bands in action..please enjoy..

Welcome!


WHO are we?!
We are an awareness campaign group, simply put, we are the same as you only we are shouting out to make heard the silent or silenced topic, of child pornography, the risk to children online and the risk to children from the evil of paedophiles and paedophilia in whatever context or form it may arise.
WHAT are we doing?
We are organising music concerts, primarily within the rock genre, to combine live performances with the strong message that any form of exploitation of children is NOT acceptable. Through the medium of music performed both live and otherwise we reach out to the thousands who want a voice to see reform for our children in the modern world.
HOW? do we do this?
First of all we need a venue, not too big, not too small, we then attract sponsorship to cover any costs incurred with banners and rental charges, then when that is settled we look for bands who will play beneath this banner, in turn spreading our words to the crowds that show up and enjoy a good night. We at no point, ever, profit from any activity founded by the RACP. All costs incurred are settled via sponsorship, any monies of any total are always forwarded onto children’s charities.
WHY are we doing this?
The idea first originated in Germany. A group of young students with a lot of frustration from reading such horrific stories, being published in the media and yet found they were unable to do anything effective! So a few young and brilliant minds, spoke, planned, slept very little and after many, many hours of work, liaising, and pulling teeth they pulled off their first Concert to raise awareness. It has been a huge success and further concerts are now not only being planned but already scheduled!We are taking this project even further; we will eventually hold concerts European wide! We will find likeminded people in all the countries who will set up…
"Rock Against Child Pornography"
…projects and concerts. We will spread the idea, that we ALL can DO something to stop crimes against children. You have to start somewhere, and we started here.If a few young students can pull off such a feat, imagine what you could do.
CHARITY as we never profit.
Prior to our gigs/concert, we are writing to various, local charity groups to find the best one to support victims of child abuse! ANY proceeds from that particular event will go to that group! We openly display the amount we manage to raise and the distribution of it here on myspace and on our homepage. We know it won’t be millions, but every penny will help! If we manage to help just ONE child, all this work would have been worth it!As stated earlier, we at no time, ever profit from any activity both, directly or indirectly linked to the RACP.
HELP that comes from you guys.
We need YOUR help too and you would be surprised how much YOU can do. Not only by adding us on Myspace and by promoting our page with your friends, place us within your top few friends, repost our bulletins, display our banner on your page or website, raise awareness by word of mouth. Also we would like you to come to our concerts, help us to distribute flyers or whatever YOU think, you are able to do for us, for the children of today and tomorrow!
Spread the word!

Report Abuse!

STOP ONLINE CHILD SEX ABUSE BY REPORTING!
Separating online child sex abuse whether it is chat-room grooming, distribution of illegal images or any other form of attack, cannot and should not be separated from offline consequences. People who prey on children whether for personal pleasure or other illegal gain do it in a way that exploits any possible opportunity. Any response must similarly be all encompassing.
