Women’s Leadership Center is pleased to announce the upcoming workshop Taking Action: Creating a Culture of Consent. The Women’s Leadership Center recognizes the timely an important conversation of consent. This dynamic four-session workshop series is inspired by the #Me Too movement with the acknowledgment that many of us have not yet had the opportunity to fully explore consent and its impact. So, for many of us we are navigating the waters of consent, boundaries, and healthy relationships without a guide. This leaves opportunity for misinterpretation and miscommunication.

#Metoo has provided a clear visual of how pervasive rape culture is. Education around consent is a crucial next step. [As] “consent is the basis and foundation for all healthy and respectful relationships and interactions. Everyone should feel like they understand what consent really means and why it’s important. Creating a culture of consent is crucial to preventing interpersonal violence and creating safer communities.” (Jessie Spinney, YWCA Sexual Assault Prevention Specialist)

To engage in the next steps practice consent conversations with loved ones (including youth and teens), speak to your representative and encourage your state to make consent education mandatory in schools, and join the Women’s Leadership Center for Taking Action: Creating a Culture of Consent.
