What’s Consent About?

jeunes bal des finissantes

Consent in the case of sexual relations, consists of voluntarily giving – or not giving – consent.

  • This consent must be given in a free and informed way.
  • If this is not the case, the person’s consent is not valid.

Keep in mind:

  • You can withdraw your consent at any time, even if you already said yes.
  • A person who has been using drugs or alcohol is not able to give consent because the consent is not informed.
  • Consent can be given through words, behaviour or both.
  • Despite what the law says, it’s always up to you to know if you’re want to have sex.

Are you hesitating? Listen to your inner voice and trust yourself!
