4 - Part 1 - Consent Is The Key, and You and I Don't Have It
In today's episode, Lasina and her friend Erica discuss Consent Laws, and how big media influences it. In Part 2, we will continue the discussion and how the subject is addressed and taught in the education system's sexual education programs.
What is Consent? Do you think your ability to consent or not consent will protect you, or hurt you? How does consent affect whether or not justice is served? Listen to Part 1, and stay tuned for Part 2, as we further dive into how Consent Is The Key, and You and I Don't Have It, at least not in the ways we think we do.
A Truth Rising isn't just a podcast, it is a project. The topic of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, rape, and sexual assault continues to evolve, and as it does, it may affect you or someone you love. This is also why I brought my friend Erica in on the conversation, this affects us all in one way another, and sharing different thoughts and insights allows you, the listener, the freedom to come to your own conclusions and understanding about this topic.
