Within 24 hours, Contos received thousands of detailed testimonies from young women across the country. Over the next few weeks, Contos set up the ‘Teach Us Consent’ website, which houses more than 6,600 testimonies of sexual assault. Her petition for consent to be taught earlier in schools has gathered more than 43,000 signatures.
