The age of consent is the age at which a individual is considered to be legally competent to agreeing to sexual acts. In today’s episode, we look at the history of consent, the legal definition of consent and how the age of consent varies around the world. Do we view girls/boys having sex at 16 in the same way? Is the age of consent necessary? 

*Note: this episode contains discussion surrounding sexual assault, rape and other topics of that nature which may be triggering. Viewer discretion is advised*
