A national campaign on consent will begin today.

The ‘We Consent’ campaign, will be run by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

It will be funded by the Department of Justice and the Community Foundation Ireland.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of the DRCC, positive values of consent can help reduce levels of sexual violence.

Noeline Blackwell said that a greater understanding will make society more equal, happier and healthier – as well as safer.
