Consent /kənˈsɛnt/: permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.

Though the meaning of the word ‘consent’ is quite simple, some people still find it difficult to wrap their heads around it. Understanding that no means no shouldn’t be so hard, should it?

In an effort to emphasise the importance of consent, the Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday shared a clip on Twitter to send out the message that ‘A No Means No’.
