With the advances in technology, sex dolls have rapidly evolved overtime. Dolls that were once blow-up, balloon like and cartoonistic in appearance are now more realistic than ever. With silicon skin and human appearance, they are designed to look and feel more like a real life person. Shockingly, female-bodied Sex Dolls can even be customised to resemble real women and girls.
In this episode, we chat with Caitlin Roper about the harm female-bodied sex dolls and sex robots pose on women and girls.
Caitlin is an activist, writer and PhD candidate at RMIT university in Melbourne, Australia where she is researching female-bodied sex dolls and robots. Caitlin is also campaign manager at Collective shout, a grassroots campaigning movement challenging the objectification of women and the sexualisation of girls in media, advertising and popular culture.

In this episode, we sat down with a young school teacher working at the very school she was sent to as a little girl. When she was 12 years old, her parents planned to dedicate her as a Jogini.
Jogini girls, are young girls that are dedicated to the goddess Yellamma and forced into a life of sexual servitude, where any man in the village can use them whenever they want, wherever they want and for no money. To have a better understanding about this practice, listen to Season 2, Episode 2, where we speak with Jonathan from Dignity Freedom Network.
Fortunately, Dignity Freedom Network was able to work with her parents, and help them see that there were other options for their daughter. Dignity Freedom Network have helped stop hundreds of young girls from being dedicated, and have given hundreds of Dalit children (and children of Joginis) an opportunity to have a brighter future, free from sexual slavery.
