Emily Atack Advocates for Affirmative Consent Law

Emily Atack has publicly shared her experiences of past drunken sexual encounters, which she now views as potentially constituting rape due to a lack of consent. As the face of the 'Affirmative Consent' campaign, she advocates for legal reforms requiring clear, active consent before sexual activities. Reflecting on her own uncomfortable experiences, Atack noted that many of her encounters left her with little to no memory, leading her to question whether she truly consented. She emphasized that societal norms have often conditioned women to normalize such situations, urging a shift in perspective. Atack's statements aim to raise awareness about the repercussions of alcohol on consent and encourage men to reconsider their past behaviors. By bringing these issues to light, she hopes to foster a better understanding of consent and sexual boundaries.
