Activist, Podcaster & YouTuber
Elly Arrow is a German activist, podcaster and YouTuber focusing on commercial sexual exploitation, i.e. prostitution, porn, stripping and BDSM dungeons. She runs the German "sex buyer” quote project which has published hundreds of quotes by men from Germany, Austria and Switzerland regarding their use of all areas of the so-called sex industry.
She works part-time for the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women where she investigates the policy approaches of different countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand in regards to prostitution, with a particular focus on the men whose money enables the “sex industry”.
Elly is a co-founder of the Red Light Exposé podcast, a project run by a group of exploitation survivors & allies, that seeks to highlight all the relevant intersecting issues underpinning commercial sexual exploitation, including but not limited to male entitlement, female poverty, homelessness, intimate partner violence, war, pop-culture and religion, as well as potential ways out of the intolerable status quo.
Elly is currently completing her M.A. in Political Science.
