Compulsory sex consent classes on cards

Colleges and universities could be forced to provide compulsory sexual consent classes after a shock report found two-thirds of young women have been pressured into sex or faced crude sexual taunts while on campus.

Minister of state for higher education Mary Mitchell O’Connor said she will push for the changes to be introduced immediately after admitting she was left “taken aback” by the findings and serious concerns over sexual consent knowledge among young people.
