Sexual exploitation refers to any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, perpetrated by aid workers against the children and families they serve. Sexual abuse is the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions, perpetrated by aid workers against the children and families they serve.
When a child is subjected to related misconduct at the hands of someone other than an aid worker, this is defined as sexual violence. Occurs in every country, across all segments of society.
