Power of Consent: Empowering Students to Prevent Sexual Assault

Program description

The POWER OF CONSENT: Empowering Students to Prevent Sexual Assault is a dynamic interactive performance with guided conversations designed to raise awareness about the prevalence and prevention of sexual assault on college campuses. This program prepares students, parents and campus communities for safe and healthy university experiences.

In every PICTURE THIS Program, we identify three (3) takeaways we strive to express to our audience. For POWER of CONSENT, these takeaways are:

1 — Bystanders and witnesses are empowered to prevent potential sexual assault for both men and women

2 — Power dynamics are an important factor when reporting (or choosing not to report) sexual assault

3 — Consent in a sexual relationship is specific; there’s power behind relationships where proper consent is utilized and it’s demonstrated by these factors:

  • Consent is explicit
  • Consent is continuous
  • Consent can be revoked at any time
  • Consent is enthusiastic
  • Consent is location and time and occurrence specific
  • Consent is required at each step of sexual contact
  • Consent is about communication
  • Each person commands their own body autonomy at all times
  • Not saying “no” is not the same as saying an enthusiastic “yes.”

The Power of Consent is suitable for participants of all genders and orientations, as well as students with disabilities. Please request any needed accommodations.
