Petition Action

Make the importance of consensual sex key in all sex education curriculums.

Petition Details

It is apparent that sex education is taught in schools around the ages of 11 and 14. But why isn't the importance of consensual sex exaggerated?
By not teaching our new generations that consent is a must, we are breeding rape culture. They should understand the punishments and implications rape has

Additional Information

One of many programmes, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0345d6w/is-this-rape-sex-on-trial (BBC Three documentary 'Is This Rape? Sex On Trial' highlighted how even adolescents/young adults do not understand basic foundations of consent and of what is rape and what isn't rape. They should be taught this in schools so they are aware of what is and is not acceptable. By doing so, rape culture and even actions of rape/sexual assault could lessen.
