Equality campaignThe Conversation

A new campaign by non-profit Right to Equality has called for the adoption of affirmative consent as a legal standard in England and Wales .
The campaign’s use of the slogan “I’m asking for it” received widespread criticism.
It was labelled offensive by survivors of sexual violence who pointed to the phrase to blame women for their own sexual assault.
Focusing on a failure to obtain consent provides the prosecution with the opportunity to question the accused on instances during the encounter where further enquiries into consent could have been expected, and, where the accused failed to do so, to ask them to account for this failure.
To harness the potential of this recommendation, however, we need more conversations about consent.
