Nearly everywhere you look, our culture is offering us sexual images, on billboards, on TV, in magazines. There's porn companies selling childrens merchandise; video games that simulate rape and magazines forcing little girls to become sexually aware.

Melinda Tankard-Reest, author and former Director of Women's Forum Australia, says enough is enough. She's edited a new book called Getting Real: Challenging the Sexualisation of Girls and joined us to talk about the problem and what you and I can do.
