April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The theme for #SAAM this year is “I Ask,” which highlights the importance of asking for and receiving consent in all interactions. Remember that consent is an affirmative YES. A shrug or no answer at all is not consent. Have questions? Check out the resources at nsvrc.org!
