Which form of violence includes unwelcome sexual conduct such as harassment, pressuring for sexual acts, sexting, and rape?

• A. Physical Violence
• B. Verbal Violence
• C. Sexual Violence
• D. Financial Violence

Answer: (C)

Sexual violence is about coercing or forcing someone into sexual activities or sexual content. The examples given—harassment, pressuring for sexual acts, sexting without consent, and rape—are all unwanted sexual behaviors driven by a lack of consent. That distinguishes it from other forms: physical violence centers on bodily harm, verbal violence involves abusive language or threats, and financial violence focuses on controlling money and resources. So these behaviors together best fit the category of sexual violence.
