Consent Explained: What Is It? (Asia Region)
This video defines sexual consent and clarifies that just because someone agrees to one kind of behavior, it doesn’t mean they want to engage in another. Everyone has the right to change their mind anytime, so you must always stop and respect the person’s wishes. It also clarifies that just because someone doesn’t say no, doesn’t mean they have given consent and that the use of drugs and alcohol means the person cannot give consent. The video also defines sexual assault and rape and emphasizes that if that is something you experienced, it’s never your fault, and you should consider talking to a trusted adult.
