sexual consent

Consent is a concept that's important for everyone to understand. It matters when you agree to get a haircut, let the doctor check your blood pressure, hug your friend, kiss someone, or pick up a child. And it isn't always communicated with a clear "Yes, you can!" or "No, you can't!" That's where Yumi Stynes and Dr. Melissa Kang can help. Packed with relatable illustrations, clear explanations, and real-life examples, this guide can show readers how to actively listen, observe, set boundaries, and speak up for themselves and others. You're the boss of your body, after all.

"For many years, 'no means no' served as the standard for sexual consent, but concerns about factors that could prevent someone from rejecting an unwanted advance, including coercion and intoxication, have resulted in a reevaluation of how it should be defined. The debate over whether this standard should be replaced and what should replace it has brought forth various possible solutions, with some arguing that only enthusiastic verbal consent will do, and others asserting that this expectation is unrealistic. Factors like age, positions of trust and authority, and mental and emotional conditions and disabilities also factor into the discussion"--Provided by publisher.
