Do you consider consent when brushing your hand against someone's back at the bar? Do you think about it before hugging someone who is in tears? Too often, we only think about consent in regards to sexual activity, but it's something we should consider daily.
In this episode of Unsilenced, Maria Lagattuta explores:
- What consent looks like in all relationships
- How victims of abuse frequently don't have much consent in their relationships
- How nonconsensual activities can negatively impact victims of abuse
- How people cannot consent to activities that could kill them, such as choking during sex
- And how people can practice noticing when something feels consensual to them
