What is informed consent?
Informed consent means voluntarily agreeing to sexual activity with the knowledge of what is being offered. It’s the individual’s right to decide whether he or she wants to engage in sexual activity. When sex is forced, or both parties haven't given consent, the ethics of sex are called into question. Forced sex can have long-term physical and mental repercussions that are hard to predict. Unfortunately, teens are having unwanted sexual experiences at increasing rates.
If you know someone who has been forced into unwanted sex, they need your support now more than ever. Listening is a good start. Encourage them to speak to a doctor or nurse so that they can have any necessary medical help. Telling an adult you trust is another positive step to take.
