Sexual harassment , also referred to as obscenity , is usually an undesirable sex behavior by one person over another. It is often done by using violence or by using others. When the power is immediate, the duration is short, or rare, it is called a sexual assault. These offenders are referred to as sex offenders or sexual harassers (often degrading). The term also includes any behavior by an adult or adolescent of a child to stimulate anyone who is sexually involved. The use of a child, or another individual younger than the age of consent, for sexual stimulation is referred to as child sexual abuse or rape according to law.

Victim
Pair
Sexual abuse of a spouse is a form of domestic violence. When harassment involves the threat of unwanted sexual contact or forced sex by a husband or a female ex-husband, it may be rape, depending on jurisdiction, and may also be an attack.
Children
Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse in which a child is abused for the sexual satisfaction of an adult or an older adolescent. This includes direct sexual contact, an adult or an elderly person engaging in indecent exposure (from genitalia, nipples, etc.) to a child in order to satisfy their own sexual desires or to intimidate or care for a child, request or suppress a person children to engage in sexual activity, display pornography to children, or use children to produce child pornography.
The effects of child sexual abuse include embarrassment and self-blame, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, self-esteem problems, sexual dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, addiction, self-injury, suicidal ideation, borderline personality disorder, and propensity to re -timtimization in adulthood. Child sexual abuse is a risk factor for attempting suicide. In addition, several studies have shown childhood sexual abuse to be a risk factor for intimate partner violence in men. Most of the losses incurred to the victims became clear several years after the harassment took place. With special attention to addiction, a study by Reiger et al supports previous findings that adverse life events increase sensitivity to drug rewards and improve drug gift signals by exposing the relationship between an increased limbic response to cocaine signaling.
Sexual harassment by family members is a form of incest, and results in more serious and long-term psychological trauma, especially in cases of parental incest.
Globally, about 18-19% of women and 8% of men express sexually harassed when they are children. The gender gap may be caused by the increasing number of female victims, the low willingness of men to express abuse, or both. Most sex offenders know their victims; about 30% are siblings of children, most often fathers, uncles or cousins; about 60% are other acquaintances such as family friends, nannies, or neighbors; foreigners are offenders in about 10% of cases of child sexual abuse. Most child sexual abuse is perpetrated by men; women do about 14% of reported violations against boys and 6% of reported violations of girls. Violators of child sexual abuse are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in preteen children.
People with developmental defects
People with developmental disabilities are often victims of sexual abuse. According to the study, people with disabilities are at greater risk to become victims of sexual violence or sexual abuse due to lack of understanding (Sobsey & Varnhagen, 1989).
People with dementia
Parents, especially those suffering from dementia, can be at risk of abuse. There are more than 6,000 "safety concerns and warnings" in UK nursing homes from 2013 to 2015. These include alleged untargeted and worse allegations. The most frequent offenders are other citizens but the staff is also offended. Allegedly some care homes may have deliberately ignored this violation.
Sometimes victims of abuse are not trusted because they are not seen as credible witnesses because of their dementia. Perpetrators often target victims who they know can not be trusted. Couples and partners sometimes continue to pursue sexual relations, without realizing they no longer have this right, because people with dementia can no longer agree.
Elders
Sexual harassment is one of the most common forms of abuse in a nursing home. If a nursing home fails to conduct proper background checks on employees who then harass the population, the home may be liable for negligence. If a nursing home fails to supervise staff or train staff to recognize signs of harassment, the home may also be liable for negligence. Sexual activity by caregiver can be a crime. Victims should not report abuse or cooperate with investigations due to stigma and/or reluctance to mention body parts.

Treatment
In the emergency department, contraceptive drugs are offered to women who are raped by men because about 5% of the rape results in pregnancy. Drug prevention against sexually transmitted infections is given to victims of all types of sexual abuse (especially for the most common diseases such as chlamydia, gonorhea, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis) and blood serum is collected to test for STIs (such as HIV, hepatitis B). and syphilis). Every survivor with abrasions is immunized for tetanus if 5 years have passed since the last immunization. Short-term treatment with benzodiazepines may help with acute anxiety and antidepressants may be helpful for PTSD symptoms, depression and panic attacks.
Sexual harassment has been associated with the development of psychotic symptoms in abused children. Treatment for psychotic symptoms may also be involved in the treatment of sexual abuse.
In terms of long-term psychological treatment, prolonged exposure therapy has been tested as a long-term method of PTSD treatment for victims of sexual abuse.
Survivor
The term survivors is sometimes used for survivors, including victims of normally non-fatal dangers, to respect and empower an individual's strength to heal, especially survivors of sexual harassment or assault. For example, there are Survivors Network from those Abused by Priest and The Survivors Trust.
Power position
Sexual violations can occur where one person uses an authority position to force others to engage in unwanted sexual activity. For example, sexual harassment in the workplace may involve an employee being forced into a sexual situation for fear of being dismissed. Sexual harassment in education may involve a student who is subject to the sexual drive of someone in power for fear of punishment, for example by being given a failing grade.
Some sexual harassment scandals have involved abuse of religious authority and are often covered up among non-abusers, including cases in the Southern Baptist Convention, Catholic Church, Episcopalian religion, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Lutheran churches, Methodist Churches, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Orthodox Judaism, other branches of Judaism, and various cultures.
Minorities
Sexual harassment is a problem in some minority communities. In 2007, a number of Hispanic victims were included in the settlement of a massive sexual abuse case involving the Los Angeles Diocese in the Catholic Church. A qualitative study by Kim et al. discusses the experience of sexual harassment in Mexican immigrant women population, citing immigration, acculturation, and some other social elements as a risk factor for abuse. To address the issue of sexual harassment within the African-American community, the prestigious Leeway Foundation sponsors a grant to develop www.blacksurvivors.org, a national online support group and resource center for victims of African-American sexual violence. This nonprofit group was founded in 2008 by Sylvia Coleman, a victim of African-American sexual harassment and a national sexual abuse prevention expert.
Other animals
Sexual harassment has been identified among animals as well; for example, among penguins AdÃÆ'Â Â © lies.
