성적 학대

The term “성적 학대” translates to “sexual abuse” in English. It refers to any non-consensual sexual act or behavior imposed on an individual. This can include a wide range of actions, such as unwanted sexual contact, exploitation, coercion, or assault. The essence of sexual abuse lies in the violation of an individual’s consent and autonomy. It is an act of power and dominance that inflicts psychological and physical harm, and can occur in various contexts, including within families, relationships, institutions, and communities. Sexual abuse can affect individuals of any age, gender, or background, and its consequences can be long-lasting, impacting emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Legal definitions and classifications of sexual abuse may vary by jurisdiction, but the core principle concerns the violation of personal boundaries and respect for consent.
