Misogynist influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are facing charges and ongoing investigations pertaining to sexual misconduct and human trafficking, including trafficking of minors and rape.

Despite multiple and credible allegations of sexual violence, abuse and sex trafficking – backed up by Andrew Tate’s own words – streaming service Spotify is hosting Tate’s instructional courses for prospective pimps and traffickers. The courses advise men on how to recruit and sell women on pornographic websites, or as Tate calls it, “pimpin’ hoes”. Some courses require a paid subscription in order to access them, allowing the uploader to profit - as well as Spotify. 

We are calling on Spotify to remove Andrew Tate’s harmful courses on how to traffic women as a matter of urgency!

Warning: Graphic content

Over the last few months, we’ve been alarmed to witness the spread of significant misinformation online in defence of misogynist influencer, accused rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his co-pimp brother Tristan.  

We could respond to these Tate defenders ourselves. But, we thought it would be even more effective to share Tate's own words - the most damning evidence that can be offered against him. 

We were very grateful for the opportunity to interview writer and prostitution survivor Rose Hunter, whose memoir Body Shell Girl was released in 2022. Campaigns Manager Caitlin Roper sat down with Rose for a discussion on myths and misconceptions about the sex trade, the problems with 'sex work' terminology, Lily Phillips, women’s ‘choices’ and supposed empowerment, as well as why we support the Nordic or abolitionist approach to prostitution legislation rather than full decriminalisation (which decriminalises pimping, brothel keeping and sex buying).

We include some highlights from Rose below.
