Concise book, outlining what consent is, and what does not constitute consent. It also goes into just how or why the consent laws are long-out-of date, and how it is that a judge or jury has no problem understanding consent when it applies to turning over property - differentiating gift, sale, and theft, and seems to have huge problems differentiating sex from rape or sexual assault, sexual misconduct, or other illegal sexual acts. It goes into the deficits that police departments have dealing with rape victims and investigating rapes.
Despite the book’s brevity, it is packed with valuable insights that serve as a primer for what’s wrong with our judicial system as it pertains to rape and sexual assault cases. But more than just pointing out the flaws of the system, Your Consent offers a clear path on how to create meaningful change.
A clear call to action to all those who support survivors.
I work at a nonprofit called NWA Center for Sexual Assault, and we’ve recently begun sending copies of this book out to our monthly members as a thank you. An impactful little guide!
