Sexual Objectification

Sexual objectification occurs when a person is viewed primarily as an object for someone else's sexual pleasure, rather than as a whole individual with thoughts, feelings, and autonomy. This reduces their value to their physical appearance or body parts, ignoring their personality and rights. Such treatment can lead to disrespect, inequality, and harm, affecting how people are perceived and treated in society. Recognizing sexual objectification is important for promoting respect, equality, and understanding of individuals as complex human beings.
