Non-consensual acts refer to actions taken without the explicit agreement or permission of all parties involved. These acts can include a range of behaviors, such as sexual assault, harassment, or domestic violence. The absence of consent is a critical factor that distinguishes these acts from consensual interactions, making them illegal and unethical. Understanding non-consensual acts is essential for promoting safety and respect in relationships. Education about consent helps individuals recognize the importance of mutual agreement in all interactions, whether they are physical, emotional, or social. Awareness can empower victims to seek help and encourage bystanders to intervene when witnessing such behaviors.
