Global Age of Consent Map

The Global Age of Consent Map illustrates the legal age at which individuals can consensually engage in sexual activities in different countries. This age varies significantly around the world, ranging from as low as 11 to as high as 18 or more. The map helps highlight the differences in cultural, legal, and societal views on maturity and consent. Understanding these variations is important for discussions about rights, protection laws, and international legal standards regarding minors and sexual consent.
