Exploitation involves taking unfair advantage of someone for personal gain. It can manifest in various forms, such as:

Labour exploitation: Forcing individuals to work under harsh conditions for little or no pay. This often involves long hours, unsafe environments, and lack of basic rights.

Sexual exploitation: Coercing individuals into performing sexual acts against their will, often through manipulation, threats, or force.

Human trafficking: The illegal trade of people for purposes such as forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of modern slavery.

Child exploitation: Taking advantage of children for labor, sexual purposes, or other forms of abuse. This can include child labor, child pornography, and child soldiers.

Exploitation can have severe and long-lasting effects on victims, including physical, emotional, and psychological harm. It’s crucial to be aware of the signs and take action to protect and support those who may be at risk.
