Agressions sexuelles

“Agressions sexuelles” is a French term that translates to “sexual assaults” in English. It refers to a range of non-consensual sexual acts or behaviors that violate an individual’s sexual autonomy and consent. This can include unwanted sexual touching, coercion, harassment, or any act that forces an individual into sexual activity against their will. The term encompasses various forms of sexual violence, including rape, attempted rape, and other forms of sexual abuse. Agressions sexuelles can occur in numerous contexts, including in personal relationships, public spaces, and within institutions. The seriousness of these acts is often recognized in legal systems, and they are considered criminal offenses in many jurisdictions, with significant emotional, psychological, and physical consequences for the victims.
