AlbakiReads Editorial

Consent, law, and accountability

Joyce Short’s book makes the legal treatment of consent its central subject, arguing for recognition of consent as a civil right backed by law. It connects that proposal to public and legislative efforts around sexual assault, accountability, and the issues brought into focus by #MeToo. The description also identifies the book as part of the Consent Awareness Network’s advocacy for legislative changes, including bills it says were pending at publication. Its framework is therefore both legal and reform-oriented, presenting consent not only as a personal boundary but as a subject for public policy and law.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the legal and policy dimensions of consent and sexual assault.
  • Readers following advocacy efforts to change laws related to accountability for sexual assault.
  • Readers seeking a reform-oriented discussion of issues raised by #MeToo.

Book overview

A powerful, compelling solution to prevent the horror of sexual assault, defeat rape culture, and criminalize the corruption #MeToo brought to light. Your Consent features introductions by Andrea Constand, Miriam Haley, and Jessica Mann, (Cosby and Weinstein survivors, ) and additional advocates for change. If you think your laws protect you, think again!

Your Consent sets the standard for turning your crucial human right of "consent" into a civil right backed by law! It provides the clarity that the public and our legislators need in order to hold sexual predators accountable, and secure justice for their victims.

The purchase of this book will help support the efforts of the Consent Awareness Network (CAN) to create long overdue legislative changes. CAN has four bills currently pending, is working to pass these bills into law, and is fighting to secure additional changes across the US and around the world. It is leading the way to protect you, your children, and every generation yet to come.
