Sexual offences

Sexual offences are illegal acts involving non-consensual or inappropriate sexual activity. They include behaviors such as rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and other actions that violate a person's bodily autonomy and dignity. These offences can occur regardless of gender or age and often involve abuse of power or trust. Laws aim to protect individuals from such harms, uphold consent, and ensure justice for victims. Understanding and recognizing these offences helps promote awareness and prevention, creating safer environments for everyone.
