About

Commercial sexual exploitation occurs when someone is sexually exploited in exchange for money, goods, or other forms of value. This often happens under coercion, manipulation, or force.

 

Exploitation can take many forms and, at its core, it involves a power imbalance where another party profits from a person’s vulnerability. Understanding this issue is the first step toward prevention, protection, and justice.
