What Is Consent? Doctors Teach Boys and Men through This Must-Watch Video

Two doctors try to explain the meaning of consent to men and boys

Author : Gayatri Prakasan

Consent means to give permission voluntarily for something to happen. The word 'No' must be taken seriously, especially in terms of sexual consent. After recent disturbing events of rape occurring across the country, two doctors, Dr. Agni Kumar Bose, a Dermatologist and Dermatosurgeon, and Dr. Sid Warrier, MD, DM Neurology, MRCPUK London, have taken to Instagram to explain the meaning of consent and how boys and men must be educated on this matter.

By using a simple example of offering someone tea, They emphasize that a "Yes" unmistakably means "Yes," and a "No" unequivocally means "No."

To men who truly want to help create change, it’s time you stop telling the world it’s #notallmen, and ask yourself why there are #notenoughmen.

The video had over 6.3 million views and went viral on social media. There were tons of comments explaining more case scenarios to be followed by men and many more showing support to the doctors.
