What Consent Is • Communication every step of the way • A lack of “no” DOES NOT mean “yes” • All partners must give consent
What Consent Isn’t • Saying “yes” while under the influence of drugs or alcohol • Saying “yes” as a result of pressure or fear to say “no” • An assumption that dress, a flirty attitude or accepting a favor mean “yes” • An assumption that consent on a previous occasion means “yes” • A person can decide to stop an activity at any time even if they previously consented to it
