Sexual Consent as Culture: Youth Leading Change

Host:

National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Japan (BPW Japan)

Description: 

​​From "No Means No" to "Yes Means Yes," sexual consent has become significant to fostering a culture of respect. In western societies, many universities provide consent education, and legal frameworks increasingly define rape based on the absence of consent. In 2023, Japan revised its rape law to recognize consent, however sexual consent remains far from normalized within society. This event unites youth activists from different countries to discuss how young people can drive societal change and promote a culture of consent. Join us for engaging presentations, discussions, and fresh perspectives on building a society that says no to sexual violence.
