Sexual Harassment

Sexual Harassment is a form of gender-based violence that can contribute to the vulnerability of individuals to trafficking. Women and girls are particularly at risk of sexual harassment, which can create a sense of insecurity and fear that may push them into situations of exploitation. Sexual harassment can also be a form of grooming for trafficking, as perpetrators may use it as a way to establish control and exploit vulnerabilities. Addressing sexual harassment is an important part of preventing and addressing human trafficking.
