Asking is Easy
Asking is Easy is an educational campaign targeting youth in
response to the culture of sexual violence in Singapore. It
focuses on the various aspects of consent as a preventative
approach to reducing sexual violence.
Framed by the
Theory of Planned Behaviour, the campaign addresses four key
primary research findings, namely, that 1) youth face difficulty
asking for consent, 2) youth feel pressured to consent 3) youth
are not sure about their ability to gauge consent, and that 4)
youth learn about consent from informal learning spaces. These
findings, along with secondary research regarding affirmative
consent, scripts of female obligation, and coercion, informed an
educational framework that is expressed via a website and social
media platforms.
