Connecting the Dots
Our groundbreaking report, "Connecting the Dots on the Pernicious Force Behind Gender Inclusion Advances: Sex for Education and Jobs," exposes the alarming reality of sexual exploitation in education and early careers.
The GFF survey was released in March 2023 to establish evidence quantifying the extent of sexual exploitation for education.
Based on a global survey of over 3,900 respondents, this research reveals the urgent need for action.
Young women and girls who experience sexual exploitation during their educational journeys become conditioned to these harmful social norms, which then carry over to the workplace, resulting in “sex for jobs.”
The GFF survey results strongly support the need for systemic interventions in the education sector, with a recognition that financial considerations are essential.
