What is Consent?

Consent is the voluntary agreement of two people to engage in sexual activity. It must be freely given, without coercion or force. Silence or lack of resistance does not imply consent.

There are many factors that can affect whether or not someone is able to give consent, including:

• Age
• Physical and mental capacity
• Intoxication
• Sleep
• Fear or intimidation

It is important to remember that consent can be withdrawn at any time. If someone changes their mind about engaging in sexual activity, it is important to respect their decision.

How to Get Consent

There is no one right way to get consent. However, there are some general principles that can help you ensure that you are getting consent from your partner.

• Ask explicitly for consent.
• Use clear and concise language.
• Be respectful of your partner's decision.
• Do not pressure or coerce your partner into giving consent.

It is also important to remember that consent is an ongoing process. It is not enough to get consent once at the beginning of a sexual encounter. You should continue to check in with your partner throughout the encounter to make sure that they are still consenting.

What to Do if You Are Assaulted

If you are sexually assaulted, it is important to know that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you.

• Call the police.
• Go to the hospital.
• Contact the campus counseling center.
• Talk to a trusted friend or family member.

It is also important to remember that you have the right to report your assault to the campus authorities. The campus can take steps to investigate your assault and hold the perpetrator accountable.
