Survival Sex and Global Pedophilia Systems

Tiffany Graham, Dean of the University of South Dakota Law School, defines "survival sex" as the exchange of sexual acts for basic necessities among homeless LGBTQ youth. The discussion expands this into a broader critique of systemic child abuse and pedophilia, mentioning the Catholic Church and the Dutch Justice Department. The hosts argue that these issues are often normalized or covered up by institutional powers across the globe.

Survival Sex, LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Statistics

Tiffany Graham's research indicates that LGBTQ youth are disproportionately represented in the homeless population, with approximately 40% of unaccompanied homeless youth identifying as LGBTQ. Many of these individuals engage in survival sex, trading their bodies for food, shelter, or drugs due to a lack of social safety nets.
