Shocking survey results reveal 2 in 3 Sun readers have experienced issues around sexual consent

A SHOCKING 64% of Sun readers revealed they have experienced issues around sexual consent. 

A poll of 17,848 women, the majority aged 18-24, identified that 64 per cent have had issues with consent.

12 per cent revealed that they haven’t had any issues with consent, but know someone who has.

Only 19 per cent of respondents said they hadn’t had any issues in the past.

And 5 per cent of respondents preferred not to say.

Last week The Sun teamed up with Women’s Aid to launch #NoMeansNo, calling for greater awareness around consent and unhealthy relationships.

The campaign followed a high-profile footballer being accused of rape and assault. 

As part of the campaign, the former Spice Girl Mel B, TV star and Sun columnist Ulrika Jonsson and former Page 3 model Nicola McLean bravely shared their stories of sexual abuse and date rape.

Farah Nazeer, Chief Executive of Women’s Aid, said: “The results of the Sun poll are terrifying, as they indicate the level of undisclosed and unreported sexual assault and rape, but sadly this is not a surprise. 

“It is vital that we educate young people about healthy relationships and consent, to send a clear message about what it means and where help is available if you need it.  

“It is particularly worrying to see that the majority of respondents to the poll are young women aged 18-24, showing this is very much a problem right now for the younger generation – as well as for older women – and this is clearly an issue that needs to be urgently addressed.”
