The resolution "Paving the way for a culture of consent" by the Parliamentary Assembly stresses the importance of free and informed consent in sexual relations to combat gender-based violence, particularly in a post-#metoo context. It calls for member States of the Council of Europe to incorporate consent into their legal frameworks, align laws with the Istanbul Convention, and adopt the "only yes means yes" approach. The resolution highlights the need for awareness campaigns on consent, education programmes aimed at dispelling gender stereotypes, and supports for survivors of sexual violence. It underscores the responsibility of individuals and societies to challenge sexism, promote gender equality, and protect women's rights. Moreover, it advocates for regular debates in national parliaments on these issues and urges financial and political support for women’s rights organisations.
