Last week we called out QLD-based Orion Hotel for promoting their “Playboy Bunny Party” for Easter. The event, held annually for the past three years, invited individuals to dress as Playboy founder and pimp Hugh Hefner or as Playboy bunnies.

More action needed to stop company flogging customised replica toddler girls to men

Meta has shut down three massive accounts belonging to a child sex abuse doll merchant following our reports to Australian executives. 

A supporter alerted us to a Perth store flogging Pornhub t-shirts after spotting this one on a mannequin in a city mall shop window. 

*CONTENT WARNING*

In a flip-flop ruling, Instagram has pulled a child sex abuse doll seller’s account. At first, Instagram told us they did NOT remove the account because it did not go against their Community Guidelines. So we took to X to show exactly how it DID breach parent company Meta’s terms of service which prohibit publication of child exploitation material and content which sexualises children.

Our annual ‘Wins and Highlights’ wrap up

Social media age limits, porn age verification trial, sexist ads and products pulled, Child Sexual Abuse Material taken down, child sex abuse doll sellers gone, OnlyFans Schoolies predators cancelled, strip club shares dumped, Sexual Harassment of Teachers [SHoT] Report released, 15,000 students reached and a trip to Washington DC to address a global summit on sexploitation - it’s been a massive year!

For 15 years we’ve fought hard to reach our goal of a world free of sexploitation. This year sees a record number of victories: 34 in total against companies using the bodies of women and girls for profit.

Because you spoke out, these companies were forced to rectify their behaviour!

We hope you are as encouraged as we are by this year’s ‘Wins and Highlights’.

Honey Birdette pornifies breast cancer for profit - again

For six years running, we have exposed Honey Birdette exploiting breast cancer for profit. This year, the Playboy-owned sex shop continued to eroticise breast cancer by presenting its detection as a pornified fantasy for men’s sexual gratification, with the following ad campaign displayed in shopfront windows and on social media. 

Pairing breast cancer with sexual objectification is a classic example of ‘pinkwashing’ – a term used to describe companies that exploit the disease for profit and image enhancement.

But it’s not only highly unethical – breast cancer survivors have continually expressed how they are harmed and humiliated by sexist and pornified ‘awareness’ campaigns. Some shared that Honey Birdette’s hypersexualised images featuring women with perfect, undamaged breasts in lingerie they cannot wear following mastectomies is a slap in the face.

Honey Birdette justified its exploitative treatment of women with a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, using the good name of NBCF to lend legitimacy to its sexual objectification of women.

Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise has cancelled the booking of OnlyFans porn star Kay Manuel who planned to film porn content using the bodies of ‘barely legal’ Australian schoolboys. Parent company Accor pulled the booking shortly after we brought it to their attention.
