    <pre class="document-text">## People

	want ways to act without stigma or heavy commitment
	tyred of addiction culture being normalised
	like simple actions that feel anonymous yet communal


	students create visibility through posters and memes
	religious groups amplify through organised networks
	global networks carry messages through families and communities
	users themselves validate that the method works
	together these circles reinforce each other until quitting feels normal


## Students
	university and secondary school students are natural hubs
	see posters in bathrooms and hallways as low-risk entry points
	would like to join something that feels light, peer-led, and not preachy

### What They Need
		clear proof that others their age are taking part
		simple steps that don't risk social embarrassment
		where they are: dorms, bathrooms, campus clubs, Discord servers

### How We Can Be Useful
		change open to: scanning a poster if it feels casual and anonymous
		barriers: fear of stigma, suspicion of "serious" programmes
		first actions:
			- scan one bathroom poster
			- join a Discord quietly
			- try sharing a meme in a group chat

## Religious Communities
	large, organised networks (churches, mosques, temples, youth groups)
	share values around dignity, discipline, and community
	would like tools that leaders can adopt without stigma
	not immune to addiction — many struggle quietly because it conflicts with their beliefs
	volunteers who share a faith can reach others going through the same thing

### What They Need
		tailored toolkits and guides that fit their faith context
		assurance that the method is free and open
		where they are: youth pastors, imams, local faith groups, religious Discord servers

### How We Can Be Useful
		change open to: supporting if they can pass resources without shame
		barriers: stigma in discussing pornography, fear of backlash
		first actions:
			- hand-deliver a tailored letter to a leader
			- share a guide in a youth group
			- invite members to join anonymously online

## Global Networks
	women, partners, families, and wider communities
	often affected indirectly by addiction's impact on relationships
	motivated to share resources for the sake of loved ones

### What They Need
		clear, dignified messages that protect safety and wellbeing
		ways to circulate resources through trusted networks
		where they are: women's groups, online parenting forums, advocacy networks

### How We Can Be Useful
		change open to: sharing if the tone is respectful and light
		barriers: worry about blame or judgement
		first actions:
			- forward one resource link in a group chat
			- post one poster design in a closed forum
			- mention QuitEasily during a workshop or call

## Heavy Users and Casual Users
	heavy users disrupted daily, casual users uneasy but curious
	often reluctant to speak openly
	would like anonymous entry points and normalised curiosity

### What They Need
		resources that feel safe, simple, and stigma-free
		options to explore without labels
		where they are: subreddits, gaming forums, YouTube comments

### How We Can Be Useful
		change open to: trying if it feels casual and non-judgemental
		barriers: fear of being shamed, disbelief that quitting is possible
		first actions:
			- scan a meme poster
			- join anonymously and read one page
			- share a light joke or meme about quitting



### Organisation and institution outreach strategies

	positioning
		make it extremely easy to support — organisations just need to pass resources downstream, sign on, or express interest

	making it easy to support

	working with organisations
		need one supportive person inside the organisation to signal boost within the whole
		happy for any manpower or resources to boost campaigns, but don't require formal partnership

	statistics
		track which organisations, links, and outreach approaches work most effectively

	should you outreach to them?
		ambassadors should ask: given that you can reach this organisation, is there a high likelihood of success?
		focus outreach on organisations where previous experience suggests effectiveness




### Outreaching to religious groups

	local and national engagement combined
		local → ambassadors use existing connections in communities they already belong to
		national → reach institutions with broad reach inside a country or region
	interfaith organisations
		common rallying point across faiths
		natural place to partnership and get on board with change
		registered volunteers create best approaches for national scale outreach

	university groups
		campuses reach many different religious communities from one hub
		sets the tone for broader campaigns

	interfaith organisations
		cross-collaboration between religions shows this isn't limited to one faith
		anyone religious around the world can help assist everyone to quit




#### Catholic

##### Bishop
			part of archdiocese → diocese → parish chain
			reaching one person can cascade through the entire structure
			one email to the right contact can flow through men's groups and organisations
			high leverage — one connection in a country can set the whole structure in motion

##### Priest
			can reach up the chain or to other places in their region
			ambassadors can reach out to their own priest to shoot it up the chain
			gets support from the structure without needing high-level access initially

##### Parish
			Catholic student associations with breadth across many student associations
			anyone within a parish can start the process
			men's groups within the parish network carry the message outward

##### For Ambassadors
			broaden horizons about the structure they're already part of
			find leverage points — not just one random person reaching out
			interested parties can meet people and share resources directly
			wiki page shows how to contribute best and which things to share with which people
			well-defined structure makes it fairly easy to track outreach
			this process can start from anyone, anywhere in the world


#### Christian

##### Youth Group Leaders
			primary leverage point
			ambassadors send personalised messages with links to tailored resources
			message feels human even if supported by an organisation
				"I found these resources useful" — comes from the person, not the org
			link goes to a page targeted toward youth group leaders
				asks them to critically evaluate resources for their community
				not imposing — the person who reached out is enthusiastic and it clearly helped them
				collectively destigmatise the conversation
			youth group leader can cascade to men's group leader, priest, or head of church

##### Men's Groups
			a person in a men's group can reach out to the leader
			creates reach for a lot of people since pornography affects many men
			can cascade from youth group leader to men's group leader

##### Womens Groups
			pornography affects women directly and partners indirectly
			can destigmatise the conversation between men and women
			synergising effect between men's and women's groups
			even non-users can tell their partner about it

##### Priests
			have done sermons
			can give notice to parents about upcoming sermons
			can speak in semi-coded language understood by the congregation
			collate and link to sermons other priests have done
			applicable for every religion — ask priests to share recordings if available

##### For Ambassadors
			find ambassadors already part of Christian communities
			most effective outreach is a message to their youth group leader on a messaging app
				doesn't have to be public
			can modify and individualise outreach
			could be a meme shared to a group of friends
			even young people can shoot it up to their youth group leader who can reach the men's group leader



#### Muslim

		many young Muslims reach out privately — the need is huge
		Saudi Arabia has a state-run porn addiction programme
		in many places it's more stigmatised to discuss pornography
			people need to self-vet and self-evaluate the best places for outreach
			instead of doing it blind

##### Imam
			young cool and hip Imam instead of old uncle Imam
				picking your audience with someone who knows what young people are facing
			young Imam with social media presence who understands youth struggles
			porn is actually commonly discussed in some circles
			men's or women's groups as outreach points

##### University Groups
			multiple religious groups on one campus from a single hub
			reaching one Muslim community on campus connects to other religious communities nearby
			sets the tone for broader campaigns across the university
			existing student associations can share resources with interfaith bodies

##### Youth Organisations
			large breadth of following, can reach many people
			can be nationwide or local
			often part of parent organisations that can share resources with other organisations

##### Influencers
			find people already speaking out against pornography in the wider atmosphere
			Muslim creators on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube who talk about faith, discipline, or mental health
			can normalise the conversation without the weight of institutional stigma
			often more accessible than imams for private questions and peer-level trust
			can share resources casually through stories, videos, or links without making it a campaign

##### For Ambassadors
			spend more time finding the best outreach point
			outreach privately so you don't stigmatise yourself
			consider what groups you have access to
				regional student groups, group chats, friends


#### Hindu

		Indian government has legislated against pornography and blocked it
			but that doesn't really do much
		more decentralised religion
			better spread through online content or uptake of campaigns in the wider light
		in India it would not be appropriate to discuss pornography directly
			addiction cessation happens better within the realm of other indirect campaigns
		men behind closed doors discuss pornography with friends and talk about how bad it is
			give them ways to critically evaluate how they reach out
			and what circles of influence they use
		difficult for Hindu religious people to reach out to organisations directly
		more effective as a background Peaceful Foundation campaign
			people find it through aligned projects like calm.college and reasonable.diet
			conversations come from smaller local discussions between people

##### For Ambassadors
			indirect sharing via memes allows people to destigmatise with friends
				without turning into "hey you guys should read this book"
			people find it through aligned projects
				learnstuff.today, calm.college, reasonable.diet
				because they're Peaceful Foundation aligned they find the maze naturally


#### Buddhist

		Buddhist themes align naturally with clarity and letting go
		the analysis of thought itself helps people quit
		it's a process of letting go, balancing thoughts
			not letting them define the person

##### For Ambassadors
			approach youth groups gently
			meditation teachers, wellness meditation teachers
			provide small respectful guides that slot into existing programmes
			main objective: reach national and interfaith bodies with free materials
				doesn't matter if they certify things
				they might create better resources or meditation guides for addiction
			collaborate with people already doing spiritual teachings





### Ambassadors and volunteers

#### Regional
		not about being "in charge of a region"
		someone can reach out to parent organisations for different organisations within a region
		track that data from what we've mentioned in the assertions
		becomes a tick box for teams to try and reach the largest parent organisations and get their comments
		applicable for any ambassador in any region as long as they're comfortable reaching out
		brief note on safety considerations from the assertion section — no need to reiterate everything
		an actionable and achievable goal for a group of people as a whole


#### Religious
		any ambassador can have resources and suggestions about best people and places to approach
		generalised instructions, not specific to every organisation
		people looking out for them if they're confused about which way to go
			which person to message, what approach to take
		ambassadors can put an anonymous flyer in their organisation
			reach out to their youth group leader
			or just send a message and share resources
		people freed from addiction are more than happy to help others
			usually quite excited about it
		individualise to different faiths
		consider cultural differences
		make sure people are safe and participating in a way that suits them


	Computers
		connect QuitEasily to schools, youth groups, and faith organisations; invite peers from Discords and forums; keep poster maps, links, and lists updated so anyone can see progress.

	Programming
		build poster generators, translation tools, and trackers; make resources available in multiple formats and languages; maintain lightweight systems that scale easily.

	Organising
		coordinate actions across students, faith groups, and workplaces; match volunteers to spheres where their energy fits; onboard new helpers into teams with momentum.

	Influencing
		frame addiction cessation as light, stigma-free, and peer-driven; run casual accounts for student humour, gaming, or faith groups; spread memes and posters in ways that feel native.

	Research
		identify which methods work best in different contexts; adapt them into guides and metrics; share plain insights volunteers can use directly in outreach.

	Editing + Artistry
		set a clear, stigma-free creative tone; package resources into posters, memes, and videos; create light edits and graphics that volunteers can share instantly.
