sexual exploitation

Sexual exploitation involves taking advantage of someone sexually without their consent, often through manipulation, coercion, or abuse of power. It can include forcing, pressuring, or deceiving individuals into sexual activities for the benefit of others, such as for money, goods, or status. This exploitation disregards the person's rights and well-being, often leaving lasting emotional and physical harm. It is a serious violation that is illegal and morally wrong, and it can happen in various settings, including workplaces, online environments, or through trafficking networks. Recognizing and addressing sexual exploitation is vital to protect victims and promote safety and justice.
