Consent is crucial, especially during the Red Zone. It means clear communication every step of the way, only a clear, enthusiastic "yes" counts as consent. If someone seems unsure, is silent, says “maybe,” or is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they aren’t giving consent.

If you are in an abusive relationship and your partner has ever pressured or forced you to do anything sexually that you were not comfortable with or did not actively consent to, that is considered sexual abuse. What you should know about sexual abuse: ow.ly/p4lc50NQXQg
