Istanbul&I believes that we need a revolution in the way we discuss consent. As a diverse, international youth community, we believe that consent should be involved in all human interactions. People of all genders deserve the right to feel safe in this world. That is why we are proudly involved in the Conversations on Consent campaign and are collaborating with the Philia Project and Yabangee and other stakeholders to help spark this consent revolution.

Consent concerns every individual and the unfortunate reality is it’s a conversation absent from many social circles and broader societal spheres. The campaign’s goal of ‘making consent mainstream’ is one we’re eager to throw our weight behind and in doing so, seize the opportunity of collaborating with wonderful organizations centered on this issue. As an organization based in Turkey, these past few years have shown a clear imperative and need for such dialogue. We look forward to opening new channels of discussion and emphasizing the importance of dramatic shifts in the way we perceive consent and the many fundamentally connected issues it touches upon.

The Namibia Institute for Democracy, NID is a Nnamibian based NGO conducting doing civic education, public dialogue, research, publications, capacity building training and voter education. How do we protect vulnerable women and men? How do we ensure communities and the media share crucial information on consent? How do we change the language and narrative around abuse? How will young women and men understand that they are each other’s keepers? Consent is key to protect the right to privacy, dignity and create a safe space for all of society, especially the vulnerable.

Tackling inequality and enabling real opportunity for all is vital for a better society, so Warm & Fuzzy is delighted to provide design support to help Philia with their valuable work. Consent (or the lack of it) affects all of us, across so many of our day to day interactions with other people and organisations. Warm & Fuzzy is delighted to provide design and branding support to help this important campaign promote dialogue, debate and discussion.

Philia initiated the Conversations on Consent Campaign as a way to start discussions that are not always easy but have to be had in our communities but also interpersonally. It is our mission to revolutionise human interaction. The Philia Method is a tool that helps people to learn how to have meaningful conversations and practise transformational listening skills. Really excited to work with an amazing team to see the Conversations on Consent changing lives.

As a female entrepreneur, I partner with Philia to help create and foster a network of women that want to make a positive impact. We need Conversations on Consent to help individuals and society reclaim their agency and make informed decisions.
