Spotify is cashing in on the exploitation of women and girls. The platform is hosting courses by misogynist influencer and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate - courses that actively teach men how to manipulate, control, and profit from the exploitation of women. 

As a trauma counsellor supporting survivors of sex trafficking and working closely with young people in Australian schools, I’ve seen firsthand how content like this fuels global harm. 

In classrooms, I’ve sat with young boys who admire influencers like Andrew Tate, believing that dominance, aggression, and entitlement define success and masculinity. I’ve also listened to young girls express the daily impact of these toxic ideals - how they feel pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards, tolerate degradation and rape threats, and navigate a world where they are seen as objects rather than equals.

Tate recruits women under the pretence of a romantic relationship, which is also known as the ‘loverboy’ or ‘romeo’ pimp method - manipulating victims into trusting him, only to later force or coerce them into sexual exploitation under the guise of love and care.

I’ve counselled survivors - some trafficked as young as 9 - who have endured repeated abuse at the hands of men who used the same tactics Tate brags about. It takes years, if not a lifetime, of rehabilitative care to undo the damage, yet Tate boasts about profiting from their pain. And Spotify is helping him cash in.

Despite multiple allegations of rape, sex trafficking, and abuse - including trafficking of minors - Spotify continues to give Tate a megaphone. His courses, some requiring a paid subscription to access, show men how to recruit and exploit women for pornography, under the guise of ‘business advice’. Spotify directly profits from these lessons in predation.

Join me in demanding Spotify immediately remove Andrew Tate’s courses and commit to stronger content policies that prevent its platform from being used to promote sexual exploitation.

Sign this petition and tell Spotify: Stop profiting from sexual exploitation. Remove Andrew Tate’s harmful trafficking courses now.
