Teach Us Consent was born out of a powerful grassroots movement — a collective effort to expose the scale of gender-based violence and create a world free from it. Driven by our vision for a culture where empathy, respect, and affirmative consent are the norm, we work to give young people the tools to lead this change.

Some of the words are harmless, some are jokes, and some reinforce restrictive and harmful beliefs about masculinity, women and relationships. Hearing a young person use one of these terms doesn't necessarily mean they believe it. Instead, see it as an invitation to get curious. In partnership with The Man Cave, we've created this resource to help you stay connected and respond with calmness, confidence and clear values.
