culture of consent

The culture of consent emphasizes that all interactions involving personal boundaries, especially sexual activities, should be based on clear, mutual agreement. It encourages open communication, respecting each person’s comfort and wishes, and understanding that consent must be enthusiastic, informed, and freely given without pressure or coercion. Promoting a culture of consent helps create safe, respectful environments where individuals feel empowered to express their boundaries and have those boundaries honored, reducing harm and fostering trust in relationships and communities.
