Consent is not enough to stop violence in the bedroom

Another name, another vigil, another news cycle, another tragedy of gender-based violence.

But, in spite of the vast public appetite for change on this issue, we see the same old conversations rehashed time and time again: how women can reduce their chance of becoming a victim.
