The issue of consent is important for everyone to understand and Brock University is helping inform students.

As part of O-Week, consent education is taking place with a highlight being a featured talk Tuesday, Sept. 6 by Kim Katrin Milan and Tiq Milan.

Associate Professor Margot Francis, who sits on Brock’s Sexual Violence Prevention Committee, said now is an important time for students to be reminded about consent and other issues around sexuality.

“In the first month, research shows that there’s a higher percentage of sexual assaults on campuses,” she said.

Using their personal experiences, the couple will talk about sex and everything that goes along with it. The pair are a feature of the orientation program on many campuses and lead a discussion you won’t want to miss.

“They can expect to hear about sexuality, sexual consent and about healthy relationships,” Francis said. “The idea for Kim and Tiq to speak on campus came from the education working group of the Sexual Assault Prevention Committee.”

Two sessions are being held in the David S. Howes theatre, at 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Both events are open and everyone is welcome to come.
