In this episode, Isobelle Oppon is joined by Dr Elly Hanson, a clinical psychologist and research lead at Fully Human whose work and research focuses on reducing abuse, trauma and sexual exploitation. The Feminist Files also welcomes back Ella Perkin and Sam McQuaker from the Cambridge society, Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE). We discuss the problematic rhetorics of sex positivity that obscure coercion, and the psychological effects of sexual exploitation, in particular the notion of shame. We also talk about the upcoming CASE conference which will be held on the 7th of April and Ella and Sam’s motivations and goals related to the event.
