“Consent goes a lot further than the click of a button”

The"consent app" in question has been widely criticised.

It received widespread criticism online, largely due to the fact that once consent is permitted in the proposed app, there was no clear explanation issued as to what would happen if someone was to change their mind after the"contract had been signed". "This app will not solve any consent related issues. Consent goes a lot further than the click of a button, or two clicks, or three. It is about having conversations with people we have sexual experiences with, it’s about mutual respect and understanding that everyone's boundaries are different and that feelings can change from moment to moment."If you focus on a victim/perpetrator dialogue, as this app appears to, you are not advocating for consent.

UCD issues apology after computer science students sent email asking to help develop sex consent appProfessor Pádraig Cunningham this afternoon wrote on email to his students saying that the correspondence was sent in error. It's a crime to think outside the box now. Why the need to apologise It goes to show how impractical it is to seek to define parameters around consent. Quite simply, girls need to feel empowered to say no means. Otherwise, this happens.
