Understanding sexual violence, harrasment, and consent

What is sexual violence?

The notion of sexual violence refers to any misconduct that manifests itself through unwanted sexual gestures, words, behaviors or attitudes, including those related to sexual or gender diversity, expressed directly or indirectly, including through technological means.

What is sexual harassment?

Sexual harassment is a sexual misconduct that manifests itself with words and unwanted actions of a sexual nature that affect the dignity or the psychological and physical integrity of the victim.

What is sexual consent?

It’s the agreement a person gives to a partner when engaging in sexual activity. If the choice is not free and informed, the consent is not valid. For consent to be valid, it must be enthusiastic, informed, reversible, specific and freely given.

To better understand consent, listen to this video: Consent explained with a cup of tea.
