Red Light Exposé is an international grassroots survivor-led circle seeking to combat “sex work” ideology.

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.

    Sex Dolls, AI Girlfriends, Nudify Apps: The New Frontier of Digital Sexual Exploitation

    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.

    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.

    We Say We Hate Pedophiles, But Do We?

    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. They go into details about the reality for women, the men and organizations exploiting them and the underlying ideological justifications, which remain the same across time and continents.

    "Safe" and "Privileged"? High Class Prostitution Harms Women

    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".

    Whose Afraid of Female Pleasure? All Sexual Exploiters...

    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.
