Consent
Consent is a vital part of our culture, which means we value clear communication and respect for other people’s boundaries. We support safe and inclusive communities free from assault, harm and harassment.
• If you experience a consent violation there are avenues for reporting and support. We take a survivor/victim lead approach which means you have autonomy and control over what will happen, and we will support your choices. We have a number of trained people who can provide information and support

Kiwiburn can be an erotically charged environment. We promote safe, respectful and inclusive communities which means sex-positive free expression can thrive!
This means knowing and expressing your own sexual boundaries, and asking about and respecting the boundaries of others.
Consent is ongoing, voluntary, enthusiastic and clear agreement to engage in a sexual act. Consent must be given every time and can be withdrawn at any time.
-Silence or a lack of response is not consent
-Coercion is not consent
-Someone who is asleep, intoxicated or incapacitated is not able to give consent
-Communication is the best lubricant!
• Look out for each other, if you see something happening that does not look ok, check in and ask, or find a Ranger or Consent Guardian to intervene.
