Invitation to the Launch of We-Consent, 22 Mar
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is thrilled to invite you to the launch of We-Consent, a national campaign aimed at igniting a conversation about consent and promoting a cultural shift in Ireland. This campaign is multi- year and its unique focus is to inform, educate, and engage with all members of society about consent in order to advance cultural change.
About the We-Consent Campaign
Research by DRCC indicates that 70% of people in Ireland recognise that we have a problem with sexual consent. We believe that this campaign will spark long overdue conversations about the kind of values we want to define us and the meaning of equality within our culture.
Ireland is ready for these conversations, and we would be honoured to have you join us at the launch of We-Consent on 22 March.
We will launch the campaign in two parts as outlined below. We have limited capacity so we would appreciate if you could complete the quick RSVP link for both events to ensure we manage our numbers and have the space to welcome you all.
