The Role of Consent Education in Preventing Sexual Violence and Promoting Healthy Relationships
Sexual violence is still a major problem in the world today, with serious consequences for both the health of the person and the community. In order to address this pressing concern and promote the growth of healthy relationships, this abstract examines the vital role that consent education plays. The capacity of consent education to challenge deeply ingrained attitudes and ideas about gender, power relations, and entitlement highlights its efficacy in avoiding sexual violence. The research investigates the multiple effects of consent education programmes in reducing sexual assault and fostering positive sexual behaviours, drawing on an extensive evaluation of the body of existing literature.
