Sex and Consent

Girls from all over the country talk to Catherine Carr about sex, relationships and consent.

In the months following the Epstein files revelations and a new violence against women and girls strategy in the country, girls talk about sex, porn, relationships, social media, dick picks, intimacy and a faux nostalgia for a pre-digital world where rom-com style meet cutes – rather than Snapchat – existed.

Catherine also hears some of the work being done in schools and colleges designed to help boys and girls communicate more openly about sex and consent.
