Sex, maybe. Fun, hopefully. Consent, always.
We-Consent, a long-term national campaign to inform, educate, and involve all sections of Irish society about consent, has just been launched by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre , the Minister for Justice, Simon Harris TD, and Community Foundation Ireland. It is one of the first national consent campaigns to target all demographics.
The initiative aims to start an honest and meaningful debate about sex and relationships to bring about a more thorough understanding of consent. We-Consent will collaborate widely with oraganisations nationwide to ensure a non-judgmental, inclusive debate that is grounded in the lives and experiences of actual people.
According to DRCC research, 70% of individuals believe that consent is a problem in Ireland, and one-third of people find it embarrassing to discuss sex. A misperception of consent was also shown by the study, with 1 in 5 respondents saying that occasionally people refuse sex because they need persuasion.
Moving the debate toward sexual equality, the campaign will empower both men and women and leave individuals feeling valued, respected, and welcomed. The goal of We-Consent is to generate a positive cultural transformation by encouraging everyone to engage in meaningful and interesting dialogue.Inviting someone in for tea after a night out does not equal consent
