Sexual Assault & Intimate Partner Violence Prevention
Sexual Assault & Intimate Partner
Violence Prevention
“Despite my martial arts training, it was actually the Fullpower self-defense skills that I used to stop him from raping me when I was attacked in a garage.”
“The boundary-setting skills I learned in my highschool Teenpower class helped me notice the signs and get out of a coercive relationship in college.”
What is Positive Consent?
No means NO! Maybe means No! Yes means Yes!
People of any age may at times feel pressured to engage in sexual activities, even when they really don’t want to. No matter what a person’s age or gender, everyone should know how to respond safely in these situations, from setting clear boundaries, to defending themselves verbally or physically against unwanted sexual advances, to getting help from adults they trust.
Positive Consent means that each person:
● gets to choose to participate – or not;
● can change their mind at any time;
● will have their choice to stop be respected, right away – no matter what.
