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.

    Why Assisted Death Is A Feminist Issue

    Elly Arrow and Sybil Jo discuss the increasing decriminalization of physician-assisted death and what it means for anyone who cares about traumatized, disabled and/or impoverished women and girls. They go over how concept of autonomy and even empowerment are used across the sexual and reproductive exploitation industries all the way to assisted death, and why these arguments fall flat for the vast majority of people in vastly unequal societies.Sources:"Don't Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death" by Kathleen Stock: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239517007-do-not-go-gentle"Better Off Dead" documentary film by Liz Carr: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001z8wcNot Dead Yet organization by disabled activists advocating against assisted suicide: https://notdeadyet.org/"Women And Assisted Death" podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qCkHrvU7BEHbaBETjM6tL

    How the Pelicot Case Connects To Sexual Exploitation

    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.

  8. When Female Celebrities Use The Sex Industry

    MAR 18

    When Female Celebrities Use The Sex Industry

    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?
