Elly Arrow speaks with Silvia, an anti-sexual exploitation activist from Germany, about the Pelicot case and how Dominique Pelicot and his co-perpetrators' behaviour is mirrored in the actions of pimps and johns and directly inspired by trends in online pornography and BDSM culture. They also go into the histories and take a critical look at the culture of France and Germany, respectively, to see how this connects to the Pelicot case and beyond.LinksGerman Alliance for the Nordic Model: https://www.bundesverband-nordischesmodell.de/Action Group Equality Bavaria: https://www.aggbayern.de/Silvia’s article for Nordic Model Now: https://nordicmodelnow.org/2024/12/26/what-does-the-pelicot-case-teach-us/“A Hymn to Life: Shame has to Change Sides” by Gisèle Pelicot: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229290592-a-hymn-to-life“I'll Never Call Him Dad Again: Turning Our Family Trauma of Sexual Assault and Chemical Submission into a Collective Fight” by Caroline Darian: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/223463797-i-ll-never-call-him-dad-again?ref=rae_0 Dominique Pelicot is suspected of rape and femicide: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/19/dominique-pelicot-further-investigation-rapes-murderPrevious episode on porn’s effect on young people: “Internet Porn is Causing a Crisis Among Young People”Previous episode on South Korea’s misogyny crisis: “Korean Women Fighting Porn Culture”Huschke Mau: https://huschkemau.de/en/Sandra Norak: https://mylifeinprostitution.wordpress.com/Rachel Moran’s book “Paid For: My Journey Through Prostitution”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24724603-paid-forJoanne Young: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/joanne-young-case-how-13-year-pattern-alleged-abuse-led-charges-against-six-men-1765065Nordic Model Now: https://nordicmodelnow.org/ Follow us:Facebook: ⁠@RedLightExposé⁠⁠Instagram: @RLE.podcastTikTok: ⁠@redlightexpose⁠Twitter: ⁠@RedLightExposeYouTube: @RedLightExposeDisclaimer:All the information provided through Red Light Exposé is published in good faith and solely for general information and educational purposes.

Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow discuss the increasing trend of female celebrities using strip clubs (and in one case, escort prostitution). Is this a way to signal status? To bond over the objectification of other women like men do? What if the celebrity is an actress researching for a movie role or if the woman is an ex-dancer herself? What does it mean for the rest of us when the (American) elite declares the stripping world their social hub?Sources:Chappell Roan: https://www.reddit.com/r/chappellroan/comments/1rffeca/chappell_roan_celebrated_her_birthday_at_jumbosKim Kardashian: https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a69120556/kim-kardashian-alls-fair-premiere-birthday-party-details/Gabrielle Union: https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/backwoodsaltar/gabrielle-union-loves-strip-clubs-most-cash-dropped-in-a-nightDua Lipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmN8bcdG2jALizzo: https://www.them.us/story/former-dancers-accuse-lizzo-harassmentKirsten Stewart: https://www.eonline.com/news/430554/kristen-stewart-poses-with-hooters-girls-enjoys-wings-and-beer-at-texas-breastaurant4.22% of women have visited strip clubs during the last 12 months: https://bakadesuyo.com/2011/04/are-highly-educated-men-more-likely-to-go-to"Bridesmaids" cast: https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/movies/kristen-wiig-rose-byrne-bridesmaids-reunion-strip-club/ "Hustlers" cast: https://www.glamour.com/story/constance-wu-made-600-dollars-dancing-at-a-strip-club-while-preparing-for-hustlersShante Broadus aka "Boss Lady": https://www.vibe.com/news/entertainment/snoop-dogg-wife-the-players-club-strip-club-los-angeles-1234881787/ Cardi B: https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a26950832/cardi-b-drugging-robbing-men-responsehttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/01/how-cardi-b-went-from-stripper-to-starhttps://www.iheart.com/content/2019-12-09-cardi-b-opens-up-about-past-abusive-relationship-offsets-cheating-moreBlac Chyna: https://hip-hopvibe.com/news/blac-chyna-stripping-past-king-cairo-interview/https://www.wonderwall.com/news/blac-chyna-hosting-party-los-angeles-strip-club-10k-3008047-articlehttps://www.hotnewhiphop.com/477987-blac-chyna-is-back-to-taking-strip-club-gigs-newshttps://pagesix.com/2017/01/16/inside-rob-and-chynas-night-at-the-strip-clubAmber Rose: https://www.promiflash.de/news/2025/09/07/amber-rose-lobt-onlyfans-als-sichere-stripclub-alternative.htmlhttps://www.thebeat925.ca/news/15699/amber-rose-buys-her-favorite-l-a-strip-club https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/kanye-west-amber-rose-relationship-1023540https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2024/05/21/amber-rose-endorses-trump-heres-other-celebrities-who-have-switched-sides-or-wont-endorse-a-candidate Lily Allen: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6137173/Lily-Allen-slept-female-prostitutes-instead-men-marriage-breakdown.html https://www.rollingstone.de/lily-allen-ich-bezahlte-escort-damen-fuer-sex-1553140/ https://www.thepinknews.com/2018/09/04/lily-allen-explains-sex-female-escorts/ https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music/news/lily-allen-not-attracted-to-women-despite-paying-for-female-sex-workers/a/115608577.html

Elly Arrow speaks with Caitlin Roper about “nudify” apps, AI girlfriends, and the new culture of men and boys’ digitally facilitated sexual terror against potentially anyone female, from school girls to ex-girlfriends to feminist campaigners. They go into how these practices compare to what men have been doing to so-called “sex dolls” in the shape of women and girls for years, and the targeted deepfake campaign Caitlin’s feminist group Collective Shout went through at the hands of misogynistic gamers upset over the pulling of rape simulators from major gaming platforms.LinksCollective Shout: https://www.collectiveshout.org/ "Turning Women & Girls Into Porn: An Analysis of 20 Nudifying, Deepfake and Virtual Girlfriend Apps": https://assets.nationbuilder.com/collectiveshout/pages/17246/attachments/original/1765173209/Turning_Women___Girls_Into_Porn_-_A_Collective_Shout_Report.pdf?1765173209Caitlin Roper’s link tree (including link to her book “Sex Dolls, Robots and Woman Hating: The Case for Resistance”): https://lnk.bio/RlgI Follow us:Facebook: ⁠@RedLightExposé⁠⁠Instagram: @RLE.podcastTikTok: ⁠@redlightexpose⁠Twitter: ⁠@RedLightExposeYouTube: @RedLightExposeDisclaimer:All the information provided through Red Light Exposé is published in good faith and solely for general information and educational purposes.

In this livestream, Merly Åsbogård, Elly Arrow, and Sybil Jo go over examples of women individually and collectively resisting men's abuse with violent means from the Gulabi Gang movement in India, the YPJ of Northern Syria, to individual women and girls who kill their abusive partners, traffickers, or (paying) rapists.Sources:Cyntoia Brown: trafficked, enslaved, jailed for life at 16 – and fighting back: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/oct/23/cyntoia-brown-long-trafficked-enslaved-jailed-for-life-at-16-and-fighting-backValerie Solanas: https://theculturesift.com/who-was-valerie-solanas-part-one/Aileen Wuornos: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/facpub/article/1218/&path_info=Smith_monster_HEIN.pdfWomen's Vigilantism in India: A Case Study of the Pink Sari Gang: https://www.sciencespo.fr/mass-violence-war-massacre-resistance/en/document/womens-vigilantism-india-case-study-pink-sari-gangWomen who kill: how the state criminalises women we might otherwise be burying: https://womensaid.org.uk/women-who-kill/ Centre for Women's Justice: https://www.centreforwomensjustice.org.uk/women-who-killThey Killed Their Abusers.

In this livestream, Merly Åsbogård, Sybil Jo, and Elly Arrow discuss societal hypocrisy around the sexual abuse and trafficking of children, especially girls: The hypothetical child abuser is despised, but the real ones in our midst - famous or less so - are ignored if not enabled, including by our pop culture, fashion, and general treatment of girls and women.

In this episode, Andrea Heinz and Elly Arrow are in conversation with Xiangyu from Taiwan about his country’s history of military brothels under the Kuomintang Nationalist Army.

In today's livestream, Elly Arrow discusses why so-called "high-class" prostitution is not so different in terms of risks to women's well-being as other forms of sexual exploitation. She goes into some of the psychology of the "expensive" buyer and how women in the sector have fared at the hands of such men. This also reckons with victim-blamers who label traumatized "high-class" women as "professional failures" and abolitionists who frequently label them "patriarchal collaborators" and "traitors".Elly Arrow's essay: https://ellyarrow.wordpress.com/2020/09/05/the-myth-of-the-safe-and-privileged-high-class-hooker/Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is arrested and charged: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c70kjr9wjw0t#player

In this livestream Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow discuss why suppression and disregard for female pleasure props up sexual exploitation, be that in conservative marriage ("maintenance sex", "wife duty") or prostitution. If women only ever experience sexuality as extractive, dissociative, and "for men," it's harder to recognize abuse of all kinds when it happens.Our episode about pro-woman erotica: "Can There Be Healthy Erotica Despite Porn Culture?" with Clementine LipsJenni Gage "Life, Take Two!"

Elly Arrow interviews veteran anti-trafficking activist and psychologist Iana Matei about the systematic exploitation of Romanian women and girls across Europe. Matei explains how trafficking networks operate, why they consistently target vulnerable girls, and how government inaction allows these systems to continue largely unchecked. She describes the rescue homes she has built for survivors and the long, difficult process of helping girls recover from trauma and rebuild their lives. The conversation also confronts the urgent need for legislative reform and deep cultural change to prevent future generations of girls and young women from being drawn into sexual exploitation.LinksReaching Out Romania: https://www.facebook.com/reachingoutromania/ Donating to Reaching Out Romania is possible via:Bank name: BRD Groupe Societe General Acc.Name: Asociatia Reaching OutIBAN: ro51brde030sv73149450300Acc.

Elly Arrow talks to Esther, Policy Advisor at Nordic Model Now and survivor of exploitation in prostitution and pornography, about the modern sex industry's downward spiral of ever more extreme acts for ever lower prices. They discuss why the industry doesn't allow for genuine female autonomy or safety and how male demands for degradation and violence are both cause and consequence of the sex industry. They touch on OnlyFans, BDSM, snuff films, human trafficking, and Esther's own experience of narrowly surviving commercial sexual exploitation.LinksNordic Model Now: https://nordicmodelnow.org/Esther’s NMN pieces: https://nordicmodelnow.org/tag/esther/FiLiA: https://www.filia.org.uk/CAP International: https://www.cap-international.org/en/A Model for Scotland: https://www.amodelforscotland.org/Persons Against Non-State Torture: https://nonstatetorture.org/Prostitution-context femicide: https://ellyarrow.wordpress.com/2021/03/29/who-is-killing-whom-where-how-and-why-in-german-prostitution/How Prostitution Safety Systems Fail Women (Episode 5)Follow us:Facebook: ⁠@RedLightExposé⁠⁠Instagram: @RLE.podcastTikTok: ⁠@redlightexpose⁠Twitter: ⁠@RedLightExposeYouTube: @RedLightExposeDisclaimer:All the information provided through Red Light Exposé is published in good faith and solely for general information and educational purposes.
