sexual slavery
Coerced intimate servitude
Sexual slavery is the condition of being held captive and forced to perform sexual acts against one's will.
It encompasses situations where people are bought, sold, or kept as property for sexual exploitation—whether through human trafficking, wartime capture, or coerced prostitution.
Survivors of sexual slavery often face years of trauma.
The term appears in international law and human rights discourse to describe one of the gravest violations of bodily autonomy.
