Arousal is not the equivalent of consent.  Our body natural reacts to pleasure and many other factors.  Consent is only consent when we give permission to experience those activities.

Join Danielle Samuel, CSUN Campus Care Advocate, to learn what consent is and understand the difference between consent and arousal during sexual assault.  The information presented during this workshop could very well provide you with the necessary tools to avoid a sexual violence incident.
