In episode two of our 'Men for Equality' series, host Sybil Jo interviews Cristian Eduardo, a US-based survivor of labour and sex trafficking. They discuss the unique experiences and risks of males in the prostitution system, particularly when interacting with male sex buyers. Taking a deep dive into the concept of masculinity, Sybil Jo and Christian examine hierarchies and power struggles, and the distortion of healthy relationships when social narratives on masculinity don't make space for men to be vulnerable, gentle, or equitable.
