Consent: inside and outside the bedroom

In today's episode, we chat to India Ysabel about consent. India co-founded The Speak Up Space [https://www.speakupspace.org.uk/]which is a space for survivors of sexual assault to access support and help. In this episode, we explore the concept of consent existing in all areas of life, not just in sexual relationships. How often do you apply the notion of consent to everyday conversations with your friends? We also talk about sexual assault and the grey areas that can exist in sexual relationships, if these areas of conversation are upsetting, please feel free to skip this episode and protect your safe space.  Get in touch with us on Instagram @bitesize_feminism, email us at bitesizefeminism@outlook.com, and check out our website for more at www.bitesizefeminism.co.uk [http://www.bitesizefeminism.co.uk/] The Bitesize Feminism Podcast was produced and edited by Phoebe and Annabel.
