SSAIC's favourite week! 💜
Consent Awareness Week was launched nationally in 2022 by Possibility Seeds (), in collaboration with High School Too. The week was intentionally placed in the third week of September, during what’s known as the “Red Zone”: the first six weeks of post-secondary school when rates of sexualized violence are at their highest.
At SSAIC, we are proud to champion and advocate for consent awareness every day. Talking about consent goes far beyond a simple yes or no; it’s about setting boundaries, knowing and honouring your right to autonomy, and listening to and respecting others.
💡 Consent is for everyone, in every situation. Whether in friendships, workplaces, or intimate relationships, consent matters. We’re especially passionate about conversations around sexual consent, which must always be:
✨ Freely given
✨ Informed
✨ Enthusiastic
✨ Revocable
✨ Specific
That’s the best kind of consent, the only legal kind, too!
