Consent Event Symposium

In a world where children and youth are exposed to sexual content via media and cellphones and incidents of sexual assault and rape in social situations and on campus are all too prevalent for young women more than ever, we need to have discussions around what constitutes consent and healthy sexual relationships. How do we speak to women and girls, men and boys about these issues?
