The consequences of sexual exploitation are profound and long-lasting. Victims often experience severe psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and diminished self-worth. Physical health can also be compromised, with risks of sexually transmitted infections, injuries, and overall deterioration. Socially, victims may face isolation, disrupted education or careers, and strained relationships. The economic impact can be equally devastating, leading to financial instability and difficulty maintaining employment.
