The "OK pas OK" Campaign: Reflecting on Your Desires and Everyone’s Boundaries
Consent is a top priority for young people as they begin their sexual and emotional lives. Starting October 20, 2019, Santé publique France is relaunching the OK pas OK campaign on the issue of consent, aimed at teenagers. The goal: to engage young people in a discussion about the concept of consent, to deconstruct stereotypes with nuance, and to foster respectful listening toward others.
The OK pas OK campaign is based on a series of podcasts produced by Delphine Dhilly (“Sexe sans consentement,” Infrarouge) in which four young women and one young man share their experiences. The varied situations—experienced both positively and negatively—all illustrate the issue of consent.
This format was chosen because we know that teenagers are extremely receptive to testimonials from their peers. These stories will help them exercise critical thinking, understand the issues surrounding consent, and develop the right reflexes
Each podcast ends with a message reminding listeners of the importance of talking and listening to one another: "Saying how you feel, asking first, saying yes, changing your mind… When it comes to sex, we don’t always feel like talking or listening. But it’s essential for things to be truly okay." The podcasts will be available on the Onsexprime.fr website under the "Rights & Sex" section.
