Consent Age Reform

Consent Age Reform involves changing the legal age at which individuals are considered capable of giving informed consent to sexual activity. The goal is to ensure that young people are protected from exploitation and abuse while recognizing their developing capacity to make decisions. This reform may lower, raise, or clarify the age of consent laws, often accompanied by educational programs to promote understanding and responsible behavior. Ultimately, it seeks a balance between safeguarding minors and respecting their autonomy as they mature.
