Sexual exploitation is any actual or attempted abuse by UNDP personnel of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. Similarly, sexual abuse means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature by UNDP personnel, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. All cases of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) are specifically addressed under the Secretary-General Bulletin ST/SGB/2003/13: Special Measures for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse.
