#AskConsent The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre's 16 days of Action Campaign

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is taking the opportunity over the 16 Days of Action to raise awareness by repeating our Ask Consent Campaign. When consent is at the core of all sexual activity, we will have a society that is more responsible, informed and respectful.

The idea behind the #AskConsent Campaign with the Student Union of Ireland (USI) is awareness-raising; to get people talking about consent in the context of a sexual relationship.

During these 16 Days of Action we want to build on consent awareness and reinforce an understanding of what consent means and when someone is in a position to give consent and when they are not.

Why don't you take our two body languages quizes to see if you GET CONSENT. Then for more information click on our #AskConsent Campaign and to watch the Consent Tea Video please click below :

Consent - Simple as Tea

So as the video shows it’s about asking, it doesn’t matter if you have had sex before, or even if you are in a relationship, when it comes to sex there are no grey areas. So make sure you #AskConsent every time. Click here »

KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING

In the ‘Asking For It’ documentary screened on RTE 2 on November 2^nd last, Louise O’Neill brought the conversation on consent into living rooms across the country; over the next 16 days we in the DRCC want that conversation to continue. This campaign is for everyone. Consent transcends gender and sexual orientation. We want the #AskConsent Campaign to benefit everyone. In promoting a consent culture we want to continue to change attitudes about what is and what is not appropriate behaviour. STOP. ASK. LISTEN. GET CONSENT.
