Anti-pornography movement in the United Kingdom

The anti-pornography movement in the United Kingdom is an umbrella term applied to various groups and individuals in the country that seek to reduce the availability of pornography. The movement originates from two distinct perspectives: some feminists oppose pornography because they regard it as a means of degrading women, while some conservatives (both religiously-motivated and secular) view it as immoral. The movement has had some influence over legislation, resulting in a number of laws intended to restrict the availability of certain genres of pornography which are legal in a number of other countries. Feminists Against Censorship have described the movement as more concerted and better organised than similar movements in other Western liberal democracies.
