The Project’s Aim:
Consent is Rad is an internationally collaborative project focused on education and sharing the message about the importance of consent in your/our skate scenes.
_________________
What Do We Do:
We aim to share information about how to talk about consent and use awareness and education as part of the global effort by skaters to promote respect and cultures of consent, but also to document and share resources about relevant topics like helplines. We do this through our own posts but also by sharing resources and campaigns from others around the world in our Instagram Stories and Highlights, and on our website. We also do collaborations with various skateboarders and draw knowledge from people working in the area of gender inclusion, safety and respect and sexual violence prevention and research.
No Naming, No Shaming, No Blaming:
We have a no naming, shaming, or blaming policy. This is for the protection of survivors and victims’ privacy, and to also protect victims and volunteers from issues such as online aggression, defamation and to be mindful of legal matters that may be under investigation now and in the future. Harassment of our volunteers on their personal accounts and in person is not acceptable.
Please Seek Professional Support if Needed
We are not an investigative or rape crisis service or rape reporting site. We are unable and do not have the resources or expertise to adjudicate and investigate alleged cases. We also do not have the capacity and are not designed to deal with people who feel there are false allegations against them. This is not what we do. We do however understand consent can be a trauma related and sensitive topic. We encourage people to seek frontline support from qualified and trained professionals in areas such as sexual violence support and sexual assault counselling. This includes follow up such as therapy and legal advice. Some links are on our website.
Thank you for your Support
We are just here to educate about consent and promote radness. Thank you to all our supporters and those learning and growing insights with us. We are an international collaboration of skateboarders from around the world. Take the message of Consent is Rad into your own scenes.
