Exploitations

/ɛkˌsplɔɪˈteɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of exploitation; multiple instances of unfairly using people, resources, or situations for profit or advantage.

Etymology

From Old French 'exploiter' + '-ation' suffix, then English regular plural '-s'. Refers to the multiple acts of taking unfair advantage.

Kelly Says

Human rights organizations track 'exploitations' globally—labor trafficking, child labor, wage theft—and the more specific documentation of individual exploitations, the stronger the legal case against perpetrators.
