Sexual Assault Awareness & Education

What is Consent?

Consent is about communication and respect.
Consent is agreement or permission expressed through affirmative, voluntary words or actions that are mutually understandable to all parties involved, to engage in a specific sexual act at a specific time:
• Consent can be withdrawn at any time, as long as it is clearly communicated.
• Consent cannot be coerced or compelled by force, threat, deception or intimidation.
• Consent cannot be given by someone who is incapacitated, as defined below.
• Consent cannot be assumed based on silence, the absence of “no” or “stop,” the existence of a prior or current relationship, or prior sexual activity.
What it means to be incapacitated
A person is incapable of consent if they are unable to understand the facts, nature, extent, or implications of the situation due to drugs, alcohol, a mental disability, being asleep or unconscious, or based on their age (pursuant to Indiana law). With respect to alcohol and drugs, intoxication and/or impairment are not not presumptively equivalent to incapacitation.

Consent does not exist when the individual initiating sexual activity knew or should have known of the other person’s incapacitation.

Key Facts About Sexual Assault in the US

Sexual violence is a widespread issue affecting people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. Understanding the scope of the problem is essential for creating meaningful solutions.
Prevalence of Sexual Assault

• Every 68 seconds, an American experiences sexual assault.

• One in six women and one in 33 men in the US have been victims of attempted or completed r**e in their lifetime.

• 94% of women who experience r**e or sexual assault report symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within two weeks.

Vulnerable Populations

Certain groups face a higher risk of sexual violence, including:

• College students. Female students aged 18-24 are significantly more likely than other women to experience sexual violence.

• LGBTQ+ individuals. Members of the LGBTQ+ community experience sexual violence at higher rates than their heterosexual peers.

• Children and teenagers. One in nine girls and one in 20 boys under 18 experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult.
