What is Consent?<br />
When it comes to sex, consent is the most important part.<br />
In Victoria, consent means a ‘free agreement’, so for someone to consent they need to<br />
understand what they’re agreeing to, communicate their consent by words and/or actions<br />
the whole time, and be agreeing of their own free will, not out of fear or force.<br />
How can you make sure you have consent?<br />
• Remember, it’s your job to ask. Try asking, “Do you want me to…?” and only act if they<br />
say yes.<br />
• Pay attention to their body language, and make sure to stop and check in if they look<br />
uncomfortable<br />
• Never make or act on assumptions on what someone is agreeing to without asking<br />
them.<br />
• Remember that if someone is asleep, unconscious, or too intoxicated to make<br />
reasonable judgement, they cannot grant consent.<br />
Engaging in any sexual act, without consent, is an act of violence and a criminal act.<br />
