How do you ask for consent? We pulled together some resources #consentconscious | Affirmative Consent / Stopping Campus Sexual Assault.

One of the most popular questions we get at The Affirmative Consent Project is:

"Can you provide some examples that explain how to ask for consent?"

We will continue to add to this section as more resources are developed around the country (and the world).

WHAT IS CONSENT?

Consent is voluntary, mutual, and can be withdrawn at any time.
Past consent does not mean current or future consent.
There is no consent when there is force, intimidation, or coercion.
There is no consent if a person is mentally or physically incapacitated or impaired because one cannot understand the fact, nature, or extent of the sexual situation.
