How Prostitution Intersects With Domestic Violence with Michelle Kelly

Host Elly Arrow interviews Michelle Kelly on surviving domestic violence and trafficking into prostitution, her experience of women’s shelters, exploitation in the camming industry, and fighting her way out through becoming a professional writer. They touch on negative community reactions, the lack of alternatives to reporting abusers to police, as well as the blind spot among many feminists when it comes to the need to safeguard women against forced abortions. Centrally, they analyze how placating the sex buyer closely mirrors managing the volatility of the domestic abuser.

The Role of Fathers in the Fight Against Trafficking with Patrick Erlandson

In episode seven of our #MenForEquality series, Savannah Severn interviews Patrick Erlandson, the founder of FatherCon, an organisation that aims to get fathers involved in the fight against human trafficking. They discuss how fathers serve as role models to sons on how to treat women, while fathers' relationships with daughters can set the stage for how she expects to be treated by men. They get real about how trafficking is often intra-community, with victims, perpetrators, but also those who can make a difference, being all local. They discuss how elevating meaningful connections and trust over short-term pleasure and (male) entitlement leads to more safety and happiness for all.

Giving Voice To Boys and Men Exploited in Prostitution with Cristian Eduardo

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.

Prostitution Is Not a Solution to the Cost of Living Crisis

Savannah Severn, Sybil Jo, and Elly Arrow discuss the worsening cost of living crisis globally, where large cities, especially, are becoming unaffordable - pushing the young and sometimes the old, but overwhelmingly women, into commercial sexual exploitation. They discuss how poverty is no accident, but intentionally engineered so wealthy men can access cheap labour, goods, and female bodies.

Prostitution Is Non-State Torture: Meet The Women Fighting It! with Linda MacDonald & Jeanne Sarson

Linda and Jeanne explain how “torture” relates to prostitution, porn, trafficking and intimate partner violence. They discuss the battle for the recognition of NST and its application to men’s violence against women and girls in places like the UN, as well as the resistance, even from many women. They finish on paths of healing even from extreme trauma and that a fulfilling life after abuse is not impossible.

What To Call The Profiteers Of Prostitution And Porn?

Michelle Abel, Andrea Heinz, and Elly Arrow discuss the language used for third-party exploiters in the commercial sex industry. How come “pimp” and “manager” are both prevalent? What feels different between “pornographer” and “adult film producer”? We finish with more examples of how the media could talk if interested in exposing abuse.

Can There Be Healthy Erotica Despite Porn Culture? with Clementine Lips

Elly Arrow interviews feminist media critic & erotica author Clementine Lips about how our entertainment media promotes narratives conducive to sexual inequality, abuse, and exploitation. We discuss popular franchises such as Sex Education, Sex & The City, and how just maybe stories about sexual exploration could be told differently.

Red Light Exposé
Red Light Exposé is an international grassroots survivor-led circle seeking to combat “sex work” ideology. We aim to raise awareness of the harms of commercializing sex, and the industries (prostitution, porn, stripping, BDSM/kink) that exploit socioeconomically marginalized people, particularly women and girls. We support the adoption of Equality Model legislation worldwide while calling for an improvement in social security. Through honest, in-depth conversations we aim to elevate voices that are often ignored and silenced, moving us toward healthier and safer societies for all people.
