Everyone has a right to choose what they want to do sexually. To make sure everyone is on the same page and having a good time during sex, consent is a vital part of our relationships. At this table, students will have the chance to learn about components of consent and put their knowledge to the test with scenarios. We will also discuss victim blaming to change the narrative that sexual assault is the victim’s fault.
