Which term describes being forced to engage in any sexual activities against your will?

• A. Human rights violation
• B. Sexual assault
• C. Marital rape
• D. Female genital mutilation

Answer: (B)

Consent and sexual violence are the focus here. Being forced to engage in any sexual activities against your will means there is no consent and the act is carried out through force or coercion. This is sexual assault, the term that covers non‑consensual sexual acts regardless of relationship or setting. It is a crime and a serious violation of a person’s safety and rights, and it relies on the absence of voluntary agreement to participate.

This applies in all kinds of relationships, not only within marriage. The idea of sexual assault is broader than a single context, capturing any non‑consensual act. The other options describe other issues and do not capture the specific situation of forcing someone to have sex: one is a broad statement about rights abuses in general, and the other refers to a separate practice not about demanding sexual activity.
