Family Matters - Dawn Hawkins on ending sexual exploitation globally

In this episode of Family Matters, Simon is joined by Dawn Hawkins, a prominent advocate against sexual exploitation and previous head of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE). Dawn shares her experiences and insights, discussing the pervasive issue of sexual exploitation, including pornography, sex trafficking, and the urgent need to protect children. She highlights the role of tech companies like Google and Apple in these issues and the necessity of holding them accountable, as exemplified in her advocacy for the App Store Accountability Act which mandates parental consent and accurate app information. Dawn is critical of New Zealand’s prostitution laws which fully decriminalised all aspects of prostitution, leading to increased exploitation and trafficking, particularly of women and girls. She advocates for the Nordic model, which criminalizes the buyers and profiteers of sex while providing support for the exploited. Dawn emphasises the interconnectedness of these issues and the importance of addressing them holistically. Simon and Dawn also discuss the grooming and exploitation prevalent in platforms like OnlyFans, where vulnerable individuals are lured with false promises of empowerment and financial gain but are actually subjected to significant exploitation. Dawn recounts ongoing legal battles representing trafficked individuals exploited through such platforms. Striking a hopeful tone, Dawn notes the increasing awareness among young people about the harms of sexual exploitation and their active role in calling for accountability and change. This episode underscores the fundamental need to recognise and protect human dignity to combat various forms of exploitation and create a safer society. #familymatters #FamilyFirst #FamilyFirstNZ
