Sexploitation refers to the practice of using sexual content or themes to exploit individuals, often for commercial gain. This can occur in various media, including films, advertisements, and online platforms, where the focus is on sexualizing individuals, particularly women, to attract attention or increase profits. The term is often associated with the objectification of people, reducing them to mere sexual objects rather than recognizing their full humanity. This exploitation can lead to harmful stereotypes and contribute to broader societal issues, such as gender inequality and sexual harassment.
