Sexual Exploitation:
What is
Sexual
Exploitation?
Sexual exploitation refers to the act of abusing or attempting
to abuse someone's vulnerability or differential power for
sexual purposes. This can include profiting monetarily,
socially, or politically from the sexual exploitation of another.
It is a form of sexual violence, often involving manipulation or
coercion, and can manifest in various ways, such as forced
prostitution, sexual slavery, child exploitation, or the creation
and distribution of explicit or sexual images without consent.
It's a serious violation of human rights and is condemned
worldwide.
