ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Overview

Enough Is Enough (EIE), a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, emerged in 1994 as the national leader on the front lines to make the Internet safer for children and families. Since then, EIE has pioneered efforts to confront online pornography, child pornography, child stalking, sexual predation and other forms of online victimization.

By leveraging its expertise, growing national partnership network and positive reputation among the public, media, law enforcement, and Internet industry, EIE continues to advance innovative initiatives and effective communication strategies to protect children online.

EIE has employed a three-pronged, preventative approach to: (1) raise public awareness and educate the public on Internet safety; (2) advise and encourage the technology industry to implement viable technology solutions and family-friendly corporate policies; and (3) promote legal solutions by calling for aggressive enforcement of existing laws and enactment of new laws to stop the exploitation and victimization of our children online.

EIE has given more than 4,000 media interviews on issues surrounding Internet safety, computer pornography, cyberbullying, social networking, online gaming, and online sexual predators, both nationally and internationally.
