In this interview, Luba Fein speaks with the leaders of the Campaign Against Sex Robots, Kathleen Richardson and Charlotta Odlind to understand how ubiquitous the sex robots are, what they look like, who is the target audience, and why they are so dangerous.
The Campaign Against Sex Robots was founded in 2015 to warn against the dangers of normalising relationships with machines and reinforcing female dehumananisation. The first campaign image featured a broken mannequin and represents dissociation from relationship and the instrumentality of women’s bodies, reduced to parts. The campaign has received international attention and will continue to defend the dignity and humanity of women and girls.
