The Meaning of Consent.

Consent occurs when one person agrees to the proposal or desire of the other.in a dating relationship, consent is when partners mutually agree to sexual activity which may include hugging, kissing, touching or sex. Both of them must be consenting.

It also means respecting boundaries and never making assumptions. Don't just assume that your partner is comfortable with actions. It requires a clear and enthusiastic yes-meaning if someone seems unsure, stays silent, doesn't respond, or says "maybe" they aren't saying yes. The absence of "no" infact doesn't mean "yes."

Just because I'm in a relationship with you, it doesn't mean that you have permissions to have sex with me anytime you feel like. Infact before being sexual with me, you've to know if I also want to be sexual with you. Both of us must agree to sex- every single time for it to be consensual.

It's also important to be honest with your partner about what you want and what you don't want.

Consent can't be implied by what I'm wearing or things like my past behaviour.

Regardless of me being naked or wearing clothes like miniskirts doesn't imply that I'm craving for sex or any kind romance.

 Consent should be communicated. I think I have the final say over what happens with my body. It doesn't matter if I had hooked up before or even if I said yes earlier and then changed my mind. I have the right to say "stop" at anytime and my partner needs to respect that.

It doesn't exactly mean that for it to be a sexual violence a weapon has to be involved. The victim doesn't have to have fought back, screamed or said no repeatedly. 

Any sexual activity without consent (including oral sex, genital touching and vaginal or anal penetration) is a sexual assault or rape.

Most of sexual assaults don't happen to strangers in dark alleyways. Often it's someone the victim knows or even a romantic partner.
