Ask, Listen, Reflect, Respect- These are the four steps to giving consent, by following this four step rule to getting consent it will be easier for you and the other person to have a equal, free agreement.
Free agreement- This agreement is one both yourself and your partner will make before you decide to do it or not.
How to say NO- You should be able to state your own opinion in your relationship so if you don’t want to do anything, learn how to say no, do not do anything that discomforts you in any way.
Respect boys and girls equally- In any type of relationship, respect should go two ways. Two ways meaning you should respect each other not more not less but equally.
Body safe was run by Cinnamon, Eliza, and other people. They came into our class every Wednesday health lesson for 4 weeks straight. In body safe we learnt about our bodies and about grown up things like s** and about keeping our bodies safe from others. It was difficult for me to listen especially when they were talking about grown up topics, it made me uncomfortable at some points as well but I had to listen anyways.

Tena koe Jaleah,
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting your BodySafe blog post up. It would be helpful for those who don't know much about the programme or what it was to have some background information. A brief description about what BodySafe is, what it tries to do and what you learnt about would be a great addition to your post.
Miss :)
Kia ora Jaleah!
ReplyDeleteWow it is really cool to see all the things you learnt and remembered from BodySafe, especially your description of a free agreement - spot on!
As you say, it's important that people feel safe to say no to things if they don't want to do them, it's good for people to build confidence in expressing themselves, but the most important thing is that the OTHER person is checking if their partner is keen or not and making it safe for them to say no as well.
I really liked how you talked about equality in relationships, this is so important to make sure relationships are healthy, both partners should be respected and respectful.

Hey Jaleah!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog post about BodySafe - my favourite part was what you said about "Listen and support the person who has been/is being sexually abused."
It seems like you've got a great understanding of consent too - well done! And well done for participating even when it got a bit out of your comfort zone.
