To go with the 3 recently released quests on Gender-Based Violence, AgedOut.com also added 10 new info pages. They’re packed with information about gender-based violence, consent, and relationship safety.

All About Consent

Consent has four parts: it’s freely given, reversible, informed, and specific. This page also covers when someone legally can’t consent, like if they’re impaired or there’s a power imbalance.

Power Dynamics in Relationships

Learn the green flags of a healthy relationship, plus sneakier forms of abuse like gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and outing threats.

Power Dynamics vs Desirability in Relationships

Attention from someone older or more powerful can feel flattering and uneasy at the same time. This page unpacks the difference between mutual attraction and someone using their age, status, or influence to apply pressure.

Intimate Partner Violence

Abuse can show up in a relationship as control, stalking, gaslighting, financial control, or sexual and physical violence. This page helps you spot the signs.

Intimate Partner Violence: Queer and Trans Youth

Abuse in queer and trans relationships can come with extra layers, like a partner threatening to out you. This page looks at why that makes leaving or asking for help feel even harder.

Sexual Violence in Queer and Trans Youth Communities

This page names things that often get brushed off. That includes invasive questions about your body, or pressure because “that’s just how it is” in the community. It also covers what healthy, consensual sex actually looks like.

Tech Facilitated Violence

Phones, GPS, smart devices, and social media can be used to track, stalk, or control someone. This page covers how to protect your privacy and spot when “checking in” has turned into control.

Cyber Violence

This page digs into harassment, image-based abuse, doxxing, and impersonation online. Find out what’s actually illegal in Canada and where to find support, even before you’re ready to report.

Concerned About Your Behaviour in Relationships?

You might notice a problem with your own behaviour in different ways. Maybe it comes from self-reflection, a partner’s feedback, or just seeing the effect it’s having. This page offers gentle, judgment-free next steps.

Newcomer Youth

If you’re new to Canada, this page covers culture shock and your rights. It also covers gender-based violence risks newcomers can face, like having documents withheld or feeling isolated from your community.
