definitions
DEFINITIONS
Informed, voluntary, and mutual agreements among all participants to engage in an activity. Frequently used when referring to a sexual activity. Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words or actions create clear permission regarding willingness to engage in the activity. Consent cannot be give when an individual is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or other conditions that affect one’s ability to understand and agree to engaging in a behavior.
The attitudes and beliefs we have about a person or group on a conscious level. This includes being aware of personal prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way that is considered to be unfair. An individual, group, or institution may hold conscious biases, which are also known as explicit biases.
Any occurrence where consent was violated, or was fuzzy or unclear. While it is used somewhat interchangeably with “consent violation,” this term is meant to be more neutral in its assumption of intent, and include incidents across the range of intentional, unskillful, and accidental. Impact is still the most important consideration in creating repair.
Gender may refer to both gender roles and gender identities. The social and cultural role of each sex within a given society is one part of gender. People often develop their gender roles in response to their environment, including family interactions, the media, peers, and education. There are also a spectrum of gender identities that can change over time and vary widely within and across cultures. Western culture tends to conceive of gender as binary. However many other cultures have three or more genders. In contrast, the term sex is used to indicate the biological differences between male, female, and intersex people.
Any unwanted sex act committed by a person or people against another person. Examples include, but are not limited to, nonconsensual kissing, groping or fondling; attempted rape; forcing someone to perform a sexual act; and rape. Specific definitions of sexual assault vary from state to state and from country to country.
A series of practices and philosophies designed to create change in social systems. Mostly, they are alternatives to criminal justice in cases of interpersonal violence, or are used for dealing with socioeconomic issues in societies transitioning away from conflict or repression. At its most basic, transformative justice seeks to respond to violence without creating more violence and/or by engaging in harm reduction to lessen the violence.
Social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Studies show that we all hold unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, stemming from the tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing, in accordance with cultural and historical context. Unconscious bias is also known as implicit bias.
