Description
When adults want a relationship with each other, they should make choices together about what the relationship should look like. This consent helps both people feel good about the relationship. Consent should always be respected, even when it is a rejection. Consent is explicit; there is no consent when someone does not reply. Children can't give consent, and adults can't give consent when they are asleep or can't communicate what they want. Violating sexual consent is breaking the law.
