What is დადებითი თანხმობა?

No. Silence, passivity, or simply not saying ‘no’ does not equal consent. Affirmative consent requires a clear agreement—verbal or unmistakable nonverbal cues—that all parties want to proceed.

Yes. Consent can be changed or revoked at any time. If someone says ‘stop,’ ‘wait,’ or otherwise indicates they’re no longer comfortable, their wishes must be respected immediately.

Nonverbal cues can communicate consent, but they must be clear and unambiguous. When in doubt, asking a simple verbal question like ‘Are you sure?’ or ‘Do you want to keep going?’ helps ensure both people are comfortable.

Show characters communicating, checking in, and responding respectfully. Avoid romanticizing pressure or coercion. Including consent makes scenes more emotionally authentic and signals care for character agency and wellbeing.
