Understanding Consent is a 2-week training program for junior high school, high school, and. college students. The earlier the topic of sexual violence is had, the earlier we can increase understanding of consent, respecting women’s rights and safety, and encouraging body autonomy where youth feel empowered to decide if and when another person can touch, hug, or kiss them. The conversation has to also continue with young adults as they navigate independence and changed relationship dynamics. Each 90-minute session will educate adolescents and young adults on the damaging impact of normalizing violence against women in media, the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of the female body, and when no means no.
