The Ask First Campaign
The
Ask First campaign was initiated in response to a specifically identified need to raise awareness of sexual assault and date rape for orientation students.
Ask First: It's About Consent
- It is everyone’s responsibility to Ask First if they want to engage in sexual activity with another person. Sexual activity requires consent.
- If you do not ask, you are at risk of doing something the other person doesn’t want you to do. You might disrespect and hurt someone. You are also at risk of breaking the law and facing criminal charges.
- You need to ask for consent for any sexual activity or intimate contact – not just sexual intercourse. This includes kissing and touching.
- Grabbing someone’s breasts, genitals or buttocks is sexual assault, so is making someone touch you.
Any form of sexual activity with another person without her or his consent is sexual assault.
NO means NO
SILENCE means NO
DRUNK means NO
