Consent at Trent
At Trent University, we all work together to create a Culture of Consent. That means respecting people's boundaries, communicating about consent, not coercing or pressuring people to do what they don't want to do, and standing up against sexual violence. Learn about what Consent at Trent does, and how they can assist you!
