International Age of Consent

The international age of consent refers to the legally defined age at which an individual is considered legally capable of agreeing to sexual activity. This age varies between countries, typically ranging from 16 to 18 years old, and is established to protect minors from exploitation and abuse. It is important to understand and respect the specific age of consent laws in each jurisdiction to ensure legal and ethical interactions, as engaging in sexual activity with someone below this age can result in serious legal consequences.
