Collective Shout has issued a media release about my petition to Etsy's Board of Directors asking them to immediately pull incest and child abuse-themed merchandise from the platform.

Here's what Movement Director Melinda Tankard Reist had to say about Etsy's child abuse-themed merch:

‪“Incest-themed products fetishise girls and suggest they really want to be sexually abused by their fathers.

‪“Etsy is perpetuating this falsehood and playing into the fantasies of predators. The company is spreading the idea that abuse is sexy and fun. Why would its directors want to link their brand with child abuse? Child sexual abuse and incest are not fashion symbols to be turned into products and sold for profit. They are crimes which hurt real women and girls.”

‪“When corporates fail to prioritise child safety, they become complicit in child exploitation”.

Please continue to share the petition - we want Etsy corporate leaders to act now and remove these sexploitative products and sellers from their platform.
