Two 13-Year-Old Girls Push To Make Consent Part Of School District’s Sex-Ed Program

When it comes to sex-ed, curriculums vary. Some schools teach abstinence-only, while others provide information about safe sex, but very few teach teens about consent. Two 13-year-olds living in Toronto, Canada, wanted to change that — and their call for change has not gone unnoticed.

After learning about rape culture while working on a project, eighth-graders Lia Valente and Tessa Hill launched a Change.org petition calling for consent education to be taught in Ontario schools.

“Thank you to everyone for their support!!!!” a Facebook post reads. “The change is coming and we’re all helping create an awesome culture of consent.”
