In this episode, we are joined by Sam McQuaker and Ella Perkin, founders of Cambridge society, Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) to discuss impact and institutionalisation of sexual exploitation. We discuss perspectives on topics like porn and the decriminalisation of sex work, and question how existing institutions need to be reconfigured for gender and sexual equality to be achieved. This episode discusses themes of sexual exploitation and abuse which may be distressing to some listeners. If you have experienced sexual violence or abuse, consider reaching out to a trusted support service or helpline in your area for assistance.
