exploitation in conflict zones

Exploitation in conflict zones refers to the unjust or harmful treatment of vulnerable populations, where individuals or groups take advantage of people's suffering for personal gain. This can include forced labor, sexual slavery, trafficking, or economic manipulation, often driven by power imbalances, chaos, and lack of law enforcement. Such exploitation worsens the plight of affected communities, perpetuating violence, poverty, and trauma, and undermining efforts for peace and recovery. Recognizing and addressing exploitation is crucial for protecting human rights and restoring dignity in conflict-affected areas.
