🚫 🍸 🍺 Being drunk is not consent. No one can give consent while intoxicated. If you're not sure whether they're too drunk; don't. If they're into you they'll be up for it with a clear head. Remember, if you need support, The STAR Centre is always here. #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime

🚫Flirting is not consent. Friendly gestures do not imply permission for anything further. Let's dismantle misconceptions and support survivors. Remember, The STAR Centre is always here to offer support. 💜#ConsentIsKey #SupportSurvivors #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime

Getting unwanted messages can be frustrating and invasive. Remember, your mental and emotional well-being is worth protecting, so don't be afraid to take action and report it if they continue even after making it clear that you do not want any contact. #SpeakOutAgainstStalking
