Know Violence Against Women

If there’s no consent, it’s not s*x. It’s r**e.

Not giving consent isn’t always a clear no. It could look like:
🙅’I’m not feeling it’
🙅’Not right now’
🙅’Please stop’
🙅Walking away from you

If it’s not a clear yes, and the person you are with is not giving you the right signals, just take a moment to ask them ‘is this ok?’.

Consent is key. https://www.cambs.police.uk/police-forces/cambridgeshire-constabulary/areas/campaigns/know-violence/know-violence-against-women/
