Like so many others, we are very glad to see the outcome of the #HarveyWeinstein trial this past week. He has done immeasurable harm with his sexual exploitation, abuse and rape of so many women, using his position of power for his own self-gratification. #HarveyWeinsteinGuilty
While most are disgusted with the extent of #HarveyWeinstein’s offending, the same can’t be said for the sick minds at #Pornhub His crimes are treated as masturbation fodder in re-enactments for men’s entertainment. His victims are named (we cut from pic) #ShutDownPornHub Image
Meanwhile, popular culture treats #Pornhub as a big joke. Men’s demand for the bodies of women and underage girls, objectified, used, abused, humiliated, bruised, restrained, abducted, choked, raped, tortured, trafficked, subject to misogynistic & racial abuse treated as a joke. Image

If we really want to stop powerful, rich sexual predators like #HarveyWeinsteinGuilty, the answer is simple.
We must campaign to ensure that Non Disclosure Agreements can no longer cover sexual behaviour.
All sexual predators operate in the shadows. Deny them those shadows.
Non Disclosure Agreements are manna from heaven for rich sexual predators.
They successfully discredit victims, who are given the choice between fighting a powerful, fully-lawyered millionaire in court with accompanying publicity, or accepting compensation and trying to move on.
Once an NDA is signed, a sexual assault victim has surrendered their voice in exchange for the promise of closure. Instead, they are silenced, demonised as a gold digger, not believed, and left unable to defend themselves.
Non Disclosure Agreements are weaponised by rapists.
