Consent is usually imagined as a single word spoken at a single moment. This section of the survey examines a more complex idea—that consent is not a one-time ‘yes’, but a continuing act of agency. It includes the right to refuse, the right to desire and the right to change one’s mind, and it is often in love and intimacy that these rights face the greatest pressure. The questions probe the space between choice and pressure, where affection, expectation and guilt blur the line. The findings reveal a country that has mastered the principle and struggles with the practice. An overwhelming 79 per cent of women agree that ‘no means no’ under all circumstances. But only 56 per cent say they can directly refuse something they do not want, 41 per cent soften their refusal with excuses or go along anyway. And just 36 per cent clearly say that consent extracted under pressure is not consent at all; a clear majority still treats pressured agreement as agreement.
