Consentement sexuel: la Californie vote une nouvelle définition

L'absence de réaction ou le silence ne seront plus considérés comme une forme de consentement sexuel. On change le "no means no", par le "Yes means yes". le consentement devra être clair, explicite et volontaire.

 "This bill is very simple; it just requires colleges to adopt policies concerning sexual assault, domestic violence, gang violence and stalking," said Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres. "They should have already been doing that."

The bill would apply to all California post-secondary schools, public and private, that receive state money for student financial aid. The California State University and University of California systems are backing the legislation after adopting similar consent standards this year.

The bill also requires colleges and universities to adopt "victim-centered" sexual-assault response policies and implement comprehensive programs to prevent assault."
