/osvrse/taxonomy/term/16/all en /osvrse/education/about-sexual-violence/consent <p>Consent is the voluntary affirmation that someone is in agreement with what is happening and wants to engage in mutually agreed upon sexual activity. It can be verbal or non-verbal. The absence of no does not imply consent.  Sexual exploration requires a lot of attention to all participants’ needs and desires, and is an ongoing process. Consent goes beyond yes and no.  </p> <p> </p> Fri, 24 Oct 2014 19:13:52 +0000 andrea.tredenick@mail.mcgill.ca 593 at /osvrse
