Sexual Coercion

What is it: 

Sexual coercion happens when someone is pressured, manipulated or tricked into sexual activity they do not freely choose. This can occur within intimate relationships or communities where consent is ignored.

​

Examples: 

• Pressure from a partner about sex 

• Manipulation using guilt or threats

• Fear-based compliance without real consent
