Understanding consent is important for people with all kinds of bodies, in all kinds of circumstances - from getting a haircut or letting the doctor check your blood pressure to hugging a friend, picking up a child, or kissing someone. After all, consent isn't always communicated with a clear 'Yes, you can!' or 'No, you can't!' 



This brilliant, critically acclaimed guide breaks down numerous situations involving consent and bodily autonomy, including dealing with new or changing feelings, recognising power imbalances, staying safe in online spaces, and keeping relationships mutually comfortable. Through relatable illustrations, clear explanations, and real-life examples, readers will learn how to actively listen and observe, set boundaries, and speak up for themselves and others. Experts Yumi Stynes and Dr. Melissa Kang approach this crucial topic with passion, awareness, and empathy.
