In 2019 we first exposed Playboy-owned sex store Honey Birdette sexing up breast cancer for profit, utilising the logo of breast cancer charity McGrath Foundation to lend legitimacy to its sexual objectification of women.

We expose Playboy profiteers 

In recent years Playboy has promoted itself as a good corporate citizen which ‘values equality’ and ‘advocates for civil rights’.

These claims are at odds with Playboy’s corporate activities which - true to its sexploitative roots - continue to objectify women and sexualise children.

Responds to backlash with PR spin, gaslights customers objecting to Playboy merch

Back in 2011, we exposed youth retailer City Beach for flogging porn products to teens. Ten years on, they are doing it again.

It's that time of year again, already! As Christmas approaches, retailers are kicking it up a notch competing for your business, and Collective Shout releases our annual blacklist of corporate offenders who have sexualised girls and objectified women throughout the year. These companies do not respect women, they have not changed their ways, and they don't deserve your money. 

You can speak with your wallet and show these companies that sexually exploiting women and girls is bad for business.

Below is our boycott list for 2016:

Lingerie retailer Bras'N'Things has been forced to discontinue a Playboy video ad due to its overtly explicit content.

As part of our 'Cross 'em off your Christmas list' campaign we have compiled a list of retailers who are stocking Playboy branded merchandise. The campaign aims to help consumers make ethical Christmas shopping decisions and reject companies that have not demonstrated corporate social responsibility.
