As the old cliché goes, information is power. That remains true regardless of the topic. Preventionist and community advocate with the Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault, Deb Bonner, knows that spreading the word about sexual violence is the best way to see the problem lessen. One scope of this problem, says Bonner, is consent.

The confusion around consent, a lot of times, isn’t that no means no. According to Bonner, it’s that consent can be taken away at any time.

Education is slowly moving in a good direction. Because of something called Erin’s Law this topic does have to be covered in schools, but Bonner believes it’s still too uncomfortable of a topic to hit home.

By avoiding the topic because of its uncomfortable nature, Bonner believes it does a great disservice.

Bonner appeared as guests on the NewsTalk WTIM Morning Show.
