Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Consent Programmes in Irish Education: Discussion

Professor Louise Crowley:

The whole community has bought into it. Then if something happens, people will turn around and say that is the behaviour they do not want. It is that collective raising of the voice of objection, which means that what is normalised is the expectation of respect rather than the silence that encourages and facilitates any kind of false consensus that such behaviour is okay. We see it happening in the community and broader society context and it is really powerful to see it, from the young to the old.
