In The Media

The In the Media page highlights where the Consent Awareness Network (CAN) has been featured in news outlets, interviews, and public conversations focused on consent, sexual assault, and justice reform. These appearances reflect growing recognition of the importance of consent-centered education and advocacy, and the role CAN plays in shaping informed, responsible dialogue. Through media coverage, CAN works to amplify accurate information, challenge harmful narratives, and bring clarity to complex issues—helping ensure that conversations about consent reach broader audiences with integrity, compassion, and purpose.
