	Our site discusses and promotes alternative perspectives on physical attractions and relationships between legal [[minor]]s and [[adult]]s. In line with current trends, we also have an increasing focus on the social situation of [[Minor Attracted Person\|minor attracted people]] (MAPs). Our aim is to produce information sources that are easy to use in front-line activism, and to organize that activism where possible. We are an international, '''informal''', organization with no official membership register. Our name/identity and information scheme are free to use and open source respectively. That is to say that you may register, or open new branches at the local level, which will remain officially independent of the international organization.

	With respect to the broader movement, a non-dogmatic "integrative model" is highly appropriate in the early stages, widening its scope and public appeal. Newgon Organization realizes the limitations of reintroducing outward-facing pro-choice activism to the MAP discourse, as we have taken part in similar campaigning in the past - with varying levels of success. We do believe a pro-choice alternative that aggressively combats the trauma myth, is a necessary counter-balance to the present-day alternatives. We also believe that our presence will encourage participation~~, and foster~~ literacy throughout a broader range of topics, serving us well in the future. With respect to the future, building a body of knowledge (NewgonWiki) continues to be our first priority.

			===Counter-extremism===

			Newgon [[List of CSA/anti-pedophile proponents\|actively compiles information]] about hostile groups. In some cases, we designate such organizations as "extremist hate groups", such as the defunct organizations [[Absolute Zero]] and [[Perverted Justice]]. We currently do not designate all such groups, as the amount of research required to do so with confidence exceeds our present resources.

			In 2023, we designated '''[[Gays Against Groomers]]''' as an extremist hate group based upon archive research following extensive hostile interactions between their own volunteers and those of Newgon, after the latter conducted outreach and awareness operations on [[MAP visibility on Twitter\|Twitter]]:

	Newgon Organization is not part of the [[Research: Recidivism and other offending figures#Facts and figures according to SOL Reform Groups and their allies\|registry reform movement]], although we do support some of its goals, for example, bringing light to [[Special Article: Adverse effects of hysteria\|adverse consequences of prosecuting "sex crimes"]]. One area where we go further than the modern registry-reform movement, is our longer-term drive towards a society that only seeks to criminalize assault or other common wrongs such as threats or blackmail, rather than "sex". In other words, we follow the anti-exceptionalist [[Sexceptionalism\|approach]] pioneered by [[Text of Human Rights and the denial of sexual freedom\|Rene Guyon]] in the late 1940s, and advocated by [[Alfred Kinsey]] thereafter, in which no law should be written with any special regard for "sex acts" as an area of concern.
