About the Campaign
LET’S GET CONSENSUAL (LGC) is a student-led movement to end rape culture on post-secondary campuses across BC.
The mission is to make campuses safer by providing judgment-free consent education and training, and to fight rape culture on campuses. From condoms to consent training, we do this in a number of ways: poster and media campaigns, workshops and training, safer sex supplies, student outreach and engagement, and much more!
WHAT IS CONSENT?
There are many different definitions and models of consent that take into account the particular wants, needs, and communication styles of those who practice it.
LGC defines consent as a mutual emotional, physical and psychological understanding between people(s) without force of any kind. When engaging intimately with other individuals, consent is necessary to ensure that everybody involved is aware and interested in what is happening. Consent is based on communication, not assumptions.
WHAT IS SEXUALIZED VIOLENCE?
Sexualized violence is anything that disrespects your sexuality (including disrespect of asexuality) or is violence in a sexualized context. This can look like comments, leering, intimidation, coercion, expectations, discrimination, non consensual touching, sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc.
WHAT UVSS (University of Victoria Student Society) DOES
Throughout the year, the UVSS will be engaging students on the topics of sexualized violence. Right now, our focus is on social media engagement and online events. We are working to make consent the norm. Join us in the conversation!
