Sexpo has been rated healthy‚ safe and empowering by the Film and Publication Board (FPB).
In statement in which Sexpo promised its “biggest‚ boldest and most vibrant show yet”‚ it said it had partnered with the FPB to promote the message that “sex needs to be healthy‚ consensual and safe”.
They pledged “to help fight against child pornography and child trafficking‚ and to empower people to enjoy a healthy sexual lifestyle”.
“Sexpo has never endorsed illegal or harmful practices and strongly condemns child pornography and human trafficking‚” the organisers said.
The FPB’s communications and public education manager‚ Janine Raftopoulos‚ picked up this theme: “The FPB has an extensive outreach campaign against child pornography‚ including creating awareness and educating people about the issue in the media‚ in schools and on social networks‚ as well as enabling people to anonymously report suspicious or illegal activity.
“The FPB’s work in SA is critical to balance the need for freedom of expression with the obligation to protect children from being exploited or harmed.
“Sexpo fully supports the activities of the FPB and shares their commitment towards promoting the health‚ safety and empowerment of children – and adults.”
Sexpo GM Christel McMahon said that “the expo…is fun‚ flirty and risqué but it is designed for adults only‚ and is helping to open up new dialogues about sexual health and liberation”.
“Sexpo admires the dedicated work of the FPB in protecting children‚ and are proud and appreciative to have them as a 2015 sponsor‚” she said.
Sexpo 2015 takes place at Gallagher Estate from September 24 to 27.
