Over the years the pedophile community has evolved to have special observance days. Girllovers celebrate Alice Day on April 25th. Boylovers celebrate International Boylove Day twice a year – on the first and last Saturdays between the days of the solstice (including those days). But there was no day that would unite the entire pedo-community.
For this matter we propose Day of Remembrance and Solidarity with the victims of pedophobia.
This is a day to remember those people who have not committed any violence and whose lives were destroyed by anti-pedophile laws and public hatred. Victims of pedophobia can be men and women, pedophiles and non-pedophiles, adults and children. This day could also be a good occasion to support those who serve prison sentences, have to register as a sex offender and suffer from other similar restrictions.
Based on the results of the poll, for the year 2020 we propose observing this day at July 14. It’s the day of the murder of Bijan Ebrahimi, who fell victim to public hatred of pedophiles. (He wasn’t a pedophile, but that doesn’t matter.)
We understand that the poll was far from ideal for a number of reasons:
- Only a small number of people could paticipate. Many simply did not know about the poll.
- There was no protection against voting twice etc.
- Among the proposed date options, many other options were not presented. For example, October 20 is the day on which elementary school teacher Neil Wilkes committed suicide because he was removed from work due to his ‘inappropriate’ relationship with the girl. He was in love with his 8-year-old student and before his death he sent her the message ‘I love you and always will’.
If in the future the community agrees that a new poll is necessary, then we will hold it in early 2021. Please continue to send us information about the victims of pedophobia.
How to observe this day? What can be done to express our solidarity? You can:
- find out the address of some registered sex offender and write him a letter with words of support;
- provide moral or financial support to a person who fell victim to pedophobia;
- participate in activism against pedophobia or support those who do it;
- find information on violation of human rights due to pedophobia and share it with other people;
- write a comment on the Internet against pedophobia;
- read materials about the victims of pedophobia and spend a minute of silence in memory of them;
- or you can do whatever you see fit.
