Strategy weekends run on bold ideas, courage, clarity… and good food.

Last week in NSW, our team gathered with our Board to plan the year ahead – and we were fuelled by delicious pastries from Veganyumm, one of Collective Shout’s Pledge Partners.

We’re grateful for businesses like veganyumm who back our work and publicly commit to upholding the value of women and girls. Our Pledge Partners are part of building the culture we want to see - one where women and girls are not objectified to sell products, and profit doesn’t come at the expense of dignity.

The savoury pastries didn’t last long (a very good sign). More importantly, the partnership behind them reflects the kind of corporate responsibility we want to grow.

If you’re a business owner and want to stand with us, learn more about becoming a Pledge Partner via the link in comments.

And if you’re near Veganyumm (Brisbane, Qld), consider supporting a business that has taken a stand for women and girls!

Recently Coralie, Renee, Melinda and Caitlin (with Lyn there in spirit and zoom) were in NSW alongside Collective Shout's Board of Directors mapping out the year ahead. We reviewed wins, unpacked risks and honed in on where harm is escalating - from tech-facilitated abuse to corporate complicity in s*xploitation.

We are a small, women-led team. We are up against billion-dollar industries. And we are still here because of YOU!

Your signatures, donations, emails, shares and encouragement make this work possible. Strategy weekends like this are grounded in one thing: our collective shout against the objectification of women and s*xualisation of children.

Did Amazon set their lawyers on Aus media?

Earlier this week, a prominent media outlet ran a piece highlighting our Amazon campaign, and the company’s abject failure to remove child s*x abuse dolls from sale.

Originally, the article featured quotes from Campaigns Manager Caitlin Roper asking if Amazon.com supplied Perth predator Jason Forbes with child s*x abuse dolls prior to his plot to kidnap and s*xually abuse a real child. Caitlin rightly asked also how many other crimes Amazon facilitated through the promo and provision of replica little girls to predators.

Mysteriously, the quotes disappeared. (You can read them in the comments below)

We've made inquiries, while wondering if Amazon made legal threats against the media outlet.

Are Amazon heads uncomfortable with being connected to child s*x abuse material and crimes against children? They should be. Why, then, have they continued to host child s*x abuse doll listings and served up PR spin to the media, claiming children’s safety is their ‘priority’?

Amazon heads have had long enough to respond and take meaningful action since we started our campaign 3 months ago. It’s time to show you who these people are.

Meet the team of Amazon Executives and Directors complicit in the sale of child s*x abuse dolls – the ones we are calling on to take urgent action and remove all of these products immediately and permanently.

Amazon.com claims protecting children and adolescents is a priority, and to have strict policies prohibiting “child p*rnography” and “s*x dolls with a childlike appearance”. They go on to say that sellers who violate these policies may face account removal. They said it back in November, and again this week.

So, what’s the problem?

Amazon ignored us when we exposed their platform infested with child s*x abuse dolls, claiming to prioritise children but failing to take any action against illegal CSAM on their site.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy blocked campaigners who attempted to bring this issue to his attention.

Amazon continues to advertise and sell replica little girls for predatory men to practice child s*xual abuse on. We’ve even found new listings this week, even as Amazon repeats their line about prioritising child protection.

So it appears Amazon knows full well that these products are being sold on their site, failed to remove them - and still fails to remove them - and continues to hide behind their supposed policies.

Here's the thing about having policies to protect kids - they are meaningless if not enforced.

Child s*x abuse dolls “allow predators to practice”: Campaigns Manager Caitlin Roper was interviewed on 6PR Perth by Chrissy Morrissy, discussing how these dolls fuel child s*xual abuse and why Amazon needs to ban them ASAP.

Why child s*x abuse dolls do not prevent s*xual abuse

Child s*x abuse dolls are lifelike, anatomically correct s*x dolls, typically modelled on the bodies of little girls. These dolls are produced and marketed for men’s s*xual use – as replica little girls for men to practice acts of child s*xual abuse.

Over the years, Collective Shout has exposed a number of major global online marketplaces selling these products and successfully campaigned to get them removed. But some people ask – as awful as these dolls are, isn’t it better that predatory men use them rather than abuse an actual child?

Here’s why that argument doesn’t hold up.

First, replica girls for men to enact unlimited fantasies of r*ping and abusing children – including toddlers and infants – only normalise and legitimise men’s s*xual use and abuse of kids. Instead of discouraging abuse, it reinforces it. This is in direct opposition to efforts to stop child s*xual abuse.

The majority of men purchasing child s*x abuse dolls are found in possession of images and videos of child s*xual abuse. They are already s*xually offending against children, and enacting s*xual abuse on a replica child is an escalation on the spectrum of s*xual abuse offending.

Predators also incorporate actual children into their doll use. In some cases, offenders have printed photos of actual children’s faces – sometimes known to them, or in their care – and attached them to the doll’s head.

We’ve also exposed doll manufacturers who invite buyers to send in a photo of an actual child they want their doll modelled on, as well as predators who claim to have customised dolls in the likeness of specific children.

Predators use these dolls to create new virtual child s*xual abuse material (CSAM) which they distribute of paedo-criminal forums, allowing users to request sp*cific s*x acts to be performed.

As we’ve seen this last week, a Perth child s*x abuse doll owner was jailed after his plan to kidnap a local child and keep them in his sound-proof attic was exposed. Child s*x abuse dolls do not prevent abuse, they fuel it.

Our campaign to get child s*x abuse dolls banned from Amazon.com was featured on news.com.au:

‘Calls to crack down on the online sale of child s*x abuse dolls are growing after a Perth man who purchased them was jailed for his plot to kidnap a child.

‘Australian activist group Collective Shout said that purchasing and using a child s*x abuse doll was not a victimless crime.

‘[Campaigns Manager Caitlin] Roper went on to call out Amazon in particular, who she claims continue to sell the dolls, while other global marketplaces like Temu and Shein had banned them.

‘“Amazon is complicit. They are facilitating predators’ access to illegal child s*x abuse material, and profiting from it,” she said.

‘“Did Amazon supply Forbes with his child s*x abuse dolls – the doll he practised on prior to escalating to planning to kidnap and s*xually abuse a child?”

‘“How many other crimes against children has Amazon facilitated through advertising and distributing replica little girls to predators?”

‘However, an Amazon spokesperson told NewsWire protecting children and adolescents is their priority, adding they require all products offered on their store to comply with applicable regulations.’

Amazon claimed to have strict policies prohibiting “child p*rnography” and the sale of child s*x abuse dolls, and that sellers who violated them could face account removal.

But if Amazon has such strong policies, and if they apparently enforce them, why is the platform infested with child s*x abuse dolls? Why haven’t they banned them? And why have they blocked campaigners who have appealed to them to do so?

Media Release: Amazon must cease sale of child s*x abuse dolls following Perth doll owner plot to kidnap child

Grassroots campaigning movement Collective Shout: for a world free of s*xploitation is calling on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to ban the sale of child s*x abuse dolls from the platform after a Perth man who purchased them has been jailed for his plot to kidnap a child.

Jason William Forbes, 39, was jailed for seven years and five months after scoping out local schools and daycare centres, researching how to approach and restrain a child and sound-proofing his attic. He was also found with 77,000 images and videos of “extremely depraved” child s*xual abuse material.

Court documents reveal Forbes had owned a child s*x abuse doll for years, which he used for s*xual gratification. He ordered a second doll which was intercepted by the Australian Border Force. Both dolls resembled female children aged 11-12 years old, and Forbes customised their physical appearance, specifying the size, hair and eye colour.

Campaigns Manager Caitlin Roper said that purchasing and using a child s*x abuse doll was not a victimless crime.

“Child s*x abuse dolls are replica little girls, sometimes even toddlers or infants, produced for men’s on demand s*xual use,” she said.

“They normalise and legitimise child s*xual abuse – they allow men to practice on a replica child that looks and feels like an actual child.”

Ms Roper said while other global marketplaces like Temu and Shein had banned child s*x abuse dolls, Amazon continued to sell them.

“Amazon is complicit. They are facilitating predators’ access to illegal child s*x abuse material, and profiting from it,” she said.

“Did Amazon supply Forbes with his child s*x abuse dolls – the doll he practiced on prior to escalating to planning to kidnap and s*xually abuse a child?”

“How many other crimes against children has Amazon facilitated through advertising and distributing replica little girls to predators?”

Collective Shout exposed Amazon selling child s*x abuse dolls in November. The childlike dolls, which are often posed alongside soft toys, were marketed as being “for enthusiasts of flat chests” and included information about the depth of their v*ginal, or*l and an*l orifices.

More than 1000 Collective Shout supporters have emailed Amazon executives calling for the removal of child s*x abuse dolls, but Amazon has remained silent. CEO Andy Jassy has blocked campaigners who attempted to bring the issue to his attention.

From child s*x abuse dolls to real children: Perth child s*x abuse doll owner jailed for “elaborate” plot to kidnap child

Jason William Forbes, 39, was jailed for seven years and five months after scoping out local schools and daycare centres, researching how to approach and restrain a child and sound-proofing his attic. He was also found with 77,000 images and videos of “extremely depraved” child s*xual abuse material.

Court documents reveal Forbes had owned a child s*x abuse doll for years, which he used for s*xual gratification. He ordered a second doll which was intercepted by the Australian Border Force. Both dolls resembled female children aged 11-12 years old, and Forbes customised their physical appearance, specifying the size, hair and eye colour.

The case highlights the reality that child s*x abuse doll use is not a victimless crime – it fuels child s*xual abuse, as offenders escalate from thinking about to acting out acts of s*xual abuse on a replica child.

While some global online marketplaces like Temu and Shein have banned child s*x abuse dolls, Amazon continues to sell them.

Did Amazon supply Forbes with the child s*x abuse dolls – including the one he practiced on while making plans to abduct and s*xually abuse a child?

How many other crimes against children has Amazon facilitated through advertising and distributing replica little girls to predators?

Technology-facilitated abuse - another special concern reflected in our S*xual Harassment of Teachers [SHoT] Report, in partnership with Australian parenting expert and educator Maggie Dent.

The report demonstrates the malign impact of p*rnography on a generation of young people, including a rise in new forms of technology-facilitated abuse, primarily AI-generated image-based s*xual abuse of female students by male peers.

“AI is being weaponised against women and girls … It is acting, essentially, as an accelerant for more s*xual harassment, more intimidation, more control of women … We are seeing this emerge with even Australian school boys creating so-called deepfake, nudifying images of their female peers at school … this is happening across the country” (Humphries, 2024).
