Ala Mhigans and Sexual Abuse
In the MSQ one Ala Mhigan woman wanders too close to the Corpse Brigade. It is heavily implied she got to endure the Corpse Brigade in numbers without any consent on her part, given she speaks of humiliating her, and crying her eyes out in the meantime.
Also, the Corpse Brigade leader, Milleuda the Slitter, is a woman. Heavily implying that women have no qualms endorsing these measures as well in Eorzea. But more about that further down the post.
"I was out foraging...when the Corpse Brigade came... They took me to their hideout...and they...they... <sob>"
"What those animals did to Bertliana is unforgivable! And to think they look down on us!"

Ala Mhigo’s Sacking/Sexual Abuse by the Garleans
Arenvald is a half-Highlander/Garlean. His mother left him after she couldn’t bear the sight of him any longer due to his heritage. Cid Garlond defected partly due to the atrocities being committed in Ala Mhigo. Apparently it is very common for sacked cities to face such things, and the Garleans are certainly not afraid to get their hands dirty either to terrorize the population.
“Everyone knows what happens when a city is sacked, even if the bards choose to omit that part. But Arenvald shouldn't be pitied. Boys like him have a clean slate, an opportunity to write their own story, free of the ties that bind the common man.â€

Brothels
Brothels in Ul’dah and Limsa seem to be a common, and accepted thing. However Limsa is unique in the fact they have their brothels on ships, dubbed pleasure barges.
Those in Ul’dah, known as pillowhouses, appear to be slightly expensive.
“And here, I'll give ye this as well. Ain't worth a night in Ul'dah's finest pillowhouse, but I'm sure ye'll find a use for it.â€
The pleasure barges however can be quite shifty as evidence provided by the Astrologian quest, and sexual slavery does seem to happen. Pretty pale skinned woman often end up on the barges one claims. Maybe a preference of women in Limsa’s pleasure barges? Who knows.
“Ah, feisty. We'll fetch a fine price for that one from the pleasure barge captains.â€

Costa del Sol Sexworkers/Entertainers
Adult entertaining and the like seem to be serious business in Costa del Sol. From sexworkers, to dancers, Master Gegeruju, the Ul’dahn owner, takes care of all for people visiting his tropical resort. There’s all sorts of races to be found, but miqo’te are surely outnumbering most of the other women to be found.
Aismurl Goldmember gets a courtesan gifted on Gegeruju’s behalf. So giving women as reward doesn’t seem to be unheard of in Eorzea.
As far as I can tell the women here seem to be rather content with their profession and get paid well for their services. In general, the women here are very free-spirited and independent.

Female on Male Abuse
While we all have a laugh about what happens over at the Sanguine Siren outpost in Limsa, the woman make very clear that men are good for only one thing: bedding them. However a thing people seem to miss often is one poor midlander man who gets forced to eat more oysters, and claims he doesn’t want to any more, while the Siren with him keeps forcing it upon him. We don’t know if she actually pushes him beyond that, but given the stance of the Sirens on men, it is highly likely.
As well there are plenty of female pirates in the Sastasha dungeon as well. Perhaps pirates have an unspoken culture of taking what they can get away with? Who knows. In any case, for the better or worse, Square Enix is very equal in terms of who faces abuse. The two male midlander NPCs in the tavern, the Missing Member, don’t look too happy either.
Also, the Corpse Brigade leader is FEMALE, who probably endorsed the abuse of an Ala Mhigan woman.
“The Sirens don't 'ave time for men, unless they's warmin' our beds.â€
“I'm not giving you a choice. Get this boy another plate of Oysters! “
“I don't think I can bear another night.â€Â   “

Gold Saucer Bunny Girls
While being an obvious reference to the Playboy bunnies, the ladies in the Gold Saucer there as eye candy besides from friendly flirting. The ‘worst’ we’ve seen is them asking MGP for a kiss. Besides that they simply seem to be flirting their way around, serving drinks and food, and making sure everyone has a jolly good time.

Homosexuality/Bisexuality
In the Whitebrim outpost, there is a knight who invites his squire into his bed. They are both very much men. Also we have a couple, who are both men, involved with unlocking Wanderer’s Palace. ‘Thankfully’ no one has qualms with their sexuality, but yet they bring up issues with their race and the fact they are romantically engaged. As well, the women in the miner’s guild in 1.0 didn’t care much whether you were male or female.
Nor did Haurcefant care about your gender as the WoL.
The U tribe has a bunch of Miqo’te bathing, and seem to be rather flirty if are female.
Your companion in 1.0, if you picked the Miqo’te, was probably bisexual.

Ishgard and Sexual Abuse
In the 30 quest, you save a woman from unjustly being accused by the Temple Knights. They were planning to do horrendous things to the lady in question, but the Warrior or Light thankfully intervenes in time.
It sadly enough appeared to be a common thing. Women could make it back provided they didn't fight it (and presumably kept quiet about it).
<sigh> Why are the pretty ones always so daft...
But my granddaughter, she started yelling at the Temple Knight─and I tried to stop her, I did! But then he said she had to come with him, and...and if I could just tell him how sorry I am, maybe...maybe he would...
(-Weary Young Man-)...Ain't the first time they've taken a girl her age. If she doesn't fight back, they might let her go after...
Assuming they didn't just drag her into an alley, they've taken her to either the Congregation or the Tribunal.

Ishgardian Jewels and Implications of Them
Whereas other city-states appear to be more open regarding this subject, Ishgard holds a strict rule upon it's women. Women are meant to keep themselves chaste and pure. This is shown off with wearing peridot. If a woman does not wear this particular gem, she is to be mistrusted in the eyes of other Ishgardians.
Although, not entirely unexpected,  noble women have found their way to show off their supposed purity, yet mean a very different thing with it – oversized gems being the way to appear suggestive instead of chaste, while keeping oneself to what society deems proper.
“Pure as peridot†is a saying used by the Ishgardians on this matter.
