We just published our book "Consent to Kiss"!
In our book "Consent to Kiss: Reducing victims of sexual violation through the CTK campaign and changing the social norms for kissing", we decided to be a little different and defer our references to this website?
Our main motivation for that is to get you onto the website! Once here we hope you will watch some of the videos, and sent them to friends. It's also just an easier way to manage references and the most relevant stats for the CTK campaign. Being conventinal is boring.
