Sexual exploitation refers to the abuse of a person's sexuality for personal gain or profit. This can happen in various forms, such as coercing someone into sexual acts, taking advantage of their vulnerability, or using their body for commercial purposes without consent. It often involves a power imbalance, where one person manipulates or controls another, leading to harm and trauma. Victims of sexual exploitation can be found in many situations, including human trafficking, child exploitation, and even within relationships. It is crucial to recognize the signs and support those affected, as everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in their personal lives.
