Day 11:
 
Only a third of Canadians understand what consent means.
A 2015 survey by the Canadian Women’s Foundation found that two thirds of respondents were not able to identify that consent must be both positive
(e.g. saying yes, initiating and/or enjoying sexual activity) and ongoing (e.g. continues during the sexual activity).

Take Action:
​

Educate people about enthusiastic consent.  Teach children that they have rights to their own body, how to set personal boundaries and also how to recognize and respect other people’s wishes and boundaries.
