What if we told you that children’s shows aren’t as innocent as you think. What if we told you that they’re contributing to a larger phenomenon called the Lolita Effect. Recently the French film “Cuties” was released on Netflix that sparked global outrage from parents of all walks of life. However, we enlighten our listeners that such a film is only a brazen example of the sexualization of children and young girls. It’s been happening much more subtly in the TV shows and other media young girls consume. And while the film withheld the intention to bring awareness to the issue, it seemed that it only ended further perpetuating the problem. Join Dua and Afroze as they discuss the social impact of the Lolita Effect and how the concerns of Muslim parents that are raising children in a world in which they’re losing grip over what their children are exposed to.
New episode drops Thursday. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more.
