"They think its ok to do whatever they want." 1 in 5 teenage boys 'neutral' on consent being required for sex

According to research by NUIG one fifth of teenage boys do not believe consent is necessary prior to sexual activity. Henry McKean spoke to people of all ages and asked what they learnt about sex education and consent in school and do we need to have more conversations with young people about consent? 93% of females and 79% of males agreed that consent is always required for sexual activity. (18% of males were neutral as to whether consent is always required; 3% disagreed that it is always required. 6% of females were neutral; 1% disagreed).
