The program, "Life Safety Education," launched in 2023, aims to prevent children from becoming victims or perpetrators of sexual violence. This update reflects a growing societal awareness of sexual consent. A survey found 18% of people have experienced violence from a partner. Experts note confusion about how to practice consent in real relationships, with consent needing continuous confirmation.
