In this episode, I’m talking with Laila Mickelwait who fights for The Children of the Porn (New York Times). Laila was also featured in Vanity Fair’s, February 2022 article Who Torched the Pornhub Palace.
On the Pornhub site, viewers see child rapes, incest, revenge pornography, spycam videos of women showering, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags. The house that porn built.
These countless victims' images and videos showing the child sexual abuse, criminal sexual exploitation and violence against women they endured, have been posted and monetized by Pornhub.
Laila Mickelwait is the Founder and CEO of the Justice Defense Fund and the Founder of the global #Traffickinghub movement which is supported by millions around the world. She was in Vanity Fair, February 2022, "Who Torched the PORNHUB PALACE."
The #Traffickinghub movement led by activist, Laila Mickelwait, called on the religious, non-partisan, non-centralized global effort to hold Pornhub, the 10th most visited website in the world, and the largest pornography website in the world, accountable for enabling and profiting from the sex trafficking and criminal sexual exploitation of countless victims including child sexual abuse. 2.2 million people signed a petition to shut the Pornhub site down. This nonprofit, #TraffickingHub documents abuses and calls for the site to be shut down. There are 118 million images downloaded a day of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
According to #Nicholas Kristof of the #New York Times, Pornhub prides itself on being the cheery, winking face of naughty, the website that buys a billboard in Times Square and donates to organizations fighting for racial equity and offers ‘steamy’ content to get people through Covid-19.
The Justice Defend fund was created to empower survivors of sex trafficking, child sexual abuse material (previously known as pornography), and image-based sexual abuse to pursue justice through sustainable strategic litigation funding. Laila also advocates for the adoption of laws that prevent child abuse and provide recourse to victims.
