What is Sexual Violence?

Sexual violence refers to any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity imposed on an individual. It can take various forms, including but not limited to:

  1. Physical Sexual Abuse: Involves any forced or coerced sexual contact, such as rape or molestation.
  2. Verbal Sexual Abuse: Includes sexually explicit comments, threats, or coercion to engage in sexual acts.
  3. Non-Consensual Sexual Acts: Any sexual activity performed without the explicit and voluntary consent of all parties involved.
  4. Child Sexual Abuse: Refers to any sexual exploitation or mistreatment of a child, including molestation, incest, or child pornography.
  5. Sexual Harassment: Unwanted sexual advances, comments, or conduct that create a hostile or intimidating environment.

It's essential to recognize the gravity of sexual abuse, and it is a violation of a person's boundaries and rights. Laws and policies vary by jurisdiction, but in many places, sexual abuse is a criminal offense, and support services are available for survivors. If you or someone you know is a  victim of sexual abuse, it is important to seek help from authorities, counselors, or support organizations.
