When Chanel Contos put a post up on social media asking for a count of those who had experienced sexual assault perpetrated by boys who had attended Sydney private schools, she was inundated with testimonies and catapulted to the forefront of the international consent movement. Using a ‘love, not shame’ approach, Chanel is on a quest to eradicate normalised sexual violence and shift the cultural discourse so that it centres on enthusiastic consent. Consensual takes us out of the shadows and confronts the frameworks that hold us all back when it comes to healthy intimacy.
