Abstract
Sexual Violence and exploitation is a huge concern in the society, and is not just peculiar or discrete to one country, but is a major cause of concern across the globe. The main objective of the paper is to find out the causal factors that encourage men to sexually abuse women, to analyse the psychological and sociological aspect of the happening of such an offence by studying how these affect the behavioural traits of humans, and men specifically and to explore effective strategies for implementation. Factors like power imbalance, objectification of women and poverty, pornography, cultural values were found actively increasing the sexual abuse. Psychological factors like resentment against women, impetuous offenders, attitude towards sex and companionship and women, high level of violence and aggression, perspective towards the world, sadists, lack of impulse control, behavioural disorders were obtained that reinforce the sexual violence and exploitation. Conclusively, it was found that there is an urgent need for a public questioning and for open and honest and public debates about male sexuality in schools, community organizations, homes, and religious institutions and for broader understandings of the circumstances and factors that lead to the usage of sexual exploitation and sexual violence. There is a pressing required for policies to balance their approaches on the lines of preventive and punitive measures.
