Story
We are a group of 16 year olds carrying out our two week Social Action project as part of the NCS Summer Programme. As a team, we are passionate about the topic of sexual consent, especially as it is a topic that effects our age group in our community everyday. Sexual consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. Its important for young people in our community because we’re tired of seeing our peers being called names for saying no. This campaign is trying to raise awareness to show that no means no, and that it doesn’t make people less of a person. We need around £200 to run our awareness campaign.
We want to have a Pizza and film night on Wednesday 9th August which will be completely free for the young people to come and have a chill evening. We expect to reach around 150 young people, so we'd need a lot of the money for the pizza, snacks and drinks to make sure that everyone gets enough to eat and drink. We will also have a speaker at the event from Women's Aid Integrated Services who will introduce the night and explain the importance of sexual consent in the community.
All 15 members of this team will either be doing a sponsored silence or a sponsored Handcuff in order to represent those who feel like they can not speak out after taking part in non-consented sexual activity, or those who feel tied to the person who made them feel like they didn't have a choice.
All proceeds made over the target will be given to Women's Aid Integrated Services and Nottinghamshire Sexual Violence Support Services.
Thank you, The 'Don’t Push It' Team!
