WHO WE ARE: OUR MISSION

The Enough Is Enough®® (EIE) mission is to Make the Internet Safer for Children and Families. EIE, a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, emerged in 1994 as the pioneering leader on the front lines of efforts to prevent the Internet-enabled exploitation of children.

Our Vision:

We are dedicated to raising public awareness about the dangers of Internet pornography, sexual predators and traffickers, other dangers and advance solutions that promote equality, fairness and respect for human dignity while promoting a shared responsibility between the public, corporate America, government and faith communities. We stand for freedom of speech as defined by the Constitution of the United States; for a culture where all people are respected and valued; for a childhood with a protected period of innocence; and for a society free from sexual exploitation.

THE PROBLEM

The Internet has become a powerful educational and communications tool, placing vast, new worlds of knowledge and information, literally within our fingertips. Unfortunately, this vehicle has also been hijacked by the sex industry, sexual predators and other enterprises. The two primary Internet dangers today are children's free and easy access to all types of pornography, and sexual predators' easy and anonymous access to children.

OUR STRATEGY

EIE's 4-Pronged Preventative Approach

Preventing the online exploitation of children and youth requires a multifaceted holistic strategy requiring a shared responsibility between the public (especially parents and caregivers), corporate America, government and faith communities: 

  1. Public: Raise public awareness of the threat of illegal pornography and online exploitation in order to empower and equip parents and other child caregivers to implement safety measures.
  2. Corporate America: Encourage the technology industry to implement viable technological solutions and family-friendly corporate policy to reduce this threat.
  3. Government: Promote legal solutions by calling for aggressive enforcement of existing laws and enactment of new laws to stop the sexual exploitation and victimization of children using the Internet.
  4. Faith Community: Engaging faith-based communities to promote sexual integrity, address sexual brokenness and prevent sexual exploitation by incorporating age-appropriate programs and resources that address healing, restoration and sexual abuse prevention.
