DEFINTIONS

Here are the definitions used on the PAVE blog (they are adapted from legal definitions, and refined based off the concept of sexual autonomy)

SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Any unwanted attention or advances regarding sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature

SEXUAL ASSAULT: A spectrum of sexual violence including any sexual contact or activity without consent

RAPE: Any penetration (vaginal, anal, oral) with anything (penis, fingers, objects) done without consent

COERCION: Any form of significant pressure employed to overcome one's ability to freely and willingly consent, such as by use of threats, blackmail, imprisonment, etc.

CONSENT: A clearly and freely given word or overt action confirming a willing desire towards and limited to a specific sexual request or experience; consent cannot be obtained from minors or individuals whom are mentally impaired, including impairment by intoxication through drugs or alcohol (voluntarily or involunarily); it is also an affirmative response, not a lack of one
