For sure, it is one of the ways to prevent sexual violence.
It's essential, because kids need to learn about consent, first of all. From a very young age, they can learn about whether they want to give a hug to someone or whether they want their picture taken. That needs to be integrated from the first grades up until high school, where they can start talking about structural racism, misogyny, how to navigate the tech world, their online presence, intimate images, pornography and all of those things. They need to learn about consent, healthy relationships, dating violence, etc.
