  9. Consent and the Law Sexual activity without consent is always a crime regardless of age. Sexual assault to a young person < 19 years old is reportable by a professional.

  10. What Is consent? Consent is voluntary agreement. This means that two people agree to do certain things of their own free will. To consent to sexual activity means to agree freely The Law requires that a person take reasonable steps to find out whether the other person is consenting

  11. Legal consent means saying “Yes” because you want to say “Yes” A person who agrees to anything because he or she is pressured, afraid, forced, or threatened has not legally consented. This is because you have not voluntarily agreed to any activity.

  12. What is the age of consent for sexual activity? Age when teens can make their own decisions about sexual activity In Canada –the age was recently changed from 14 to 16- with some exceptions 12 & 13 year olds can consent to have sex with youth who areless than 2 years older than themselves Youth age 14-15 are able to consent with partners who areless than 5 years older

  13. What IS NOT consent ? There are times when consent is NOTlegally possible A child under age 12 can NEVER give legal consent to sexual activity. There can be no legal consent when a person is drunk, drugged, asleep, or passed out Someone under age 18 cannot legally consent to have sex with a person in a position of authority such as a teacher, health care provider, coach, minister, family member

  14. NO means NO ! NO always means NO STOP always means STOP If someone says NO and you do not stop, You are committing a crime

  15. IsSaying “NO” the only way to show that I do not consent? You can show by words or actions that you do not give consent Examples- struggling, pushing away, shaking head, trying to leave NO!

  16. What if I did not resist because I was too afraid? Even if you did not resist – the attacker cannot say you consented The law does not consider that you freely agreed just because you did not struggle or resist

  17. Tell the other person what is OKAY and what isn’t Say No when you mean no Say STOP when you mean stop If you say nothing – your partner might think everything is OK and you want to go further NO OK WHAT does she want?
