There have been a lot of efforts among anarchists/feminists to discuss and educate on consent and sexual assault issues. It is important first of all for everyone to understand consent.

Although there are disagreements, various folks are determined to be able to deal with these issues without the state. Below are some zines and other pieces that I have archived on this website that are relevant and useful to read, review, and share with others. For even more beyond these, click the labels "consent", "sexual assault", "abuse", "accountability", etc.
