Mission statement

The starting point of Paidika is necessarily our consciousness of ourselves as paedophiles...But to speak today of paedophilia, which we understand to be consensual intergenerational sexual relationships, is to speak of the politics of oppression...This is the milieu in which we are enmeshed, the fabric of our daily life and struggle...Through publication of scholarly studies, thoroughly documented and carefully reasoned, we intend to demonstrate that paedophilia has been, and remains, a legitimate and productive part of the totality of human experience.
