Just a reminder:

Don’t touch people without their consent. Don’t touch them if they say ‘no’ or shake their head. No means no. It doesn’t mean yes. It doesn’t mean maybe. No means no.

Don’t touch them if they visibly look uncomfortable or stressed if you do touch them. Don’t touch them even if they don’t say anything; they could be to scared to speak out and say no. They could be frozen in fear because they had a traumatic experience with someone touching them.

No, they are not playing ‘hard to get’. No, they don’t want you touching them UNLESS there is a explicit, clear and verbal agreement, and they tell you, looking into your eyes and saying that it’s okay for you to touch them.

Recap: DON’T TOUCH PEOPLE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT

Thanks for reading this PSA

Oh god this reminded me of when some guy (that I just met), without asking, reached over and grabbed some of my hair. Like I’m used to it at this point but my god people need to stop that.

Good psa.
