People Advocating Sexual Safety — a nonprofit for a safer, more consent-literate world.
PASS Worldwide was founded on a simple idea: that safety, consent, and respect should be defaults, not exceptions. We bring together educators, clinicians, researchers, and technologists to make that idea real — in classrooms, on campuses, and in the everyday tools people use.
Empower individuals. Protect victims. Change culture.
PASS Worldwide is dedicated to empowering individuals and protecting victims through three connected disciplines: education, advocacy, and technology. Each is essential. Education alone can't change behavior overnight; advocacy alone can't scale without evidence; technology alone can't replace the human conversation that consent requires.
By integrating the three, we're building something rare in this space — a nonprofit that can teach consent on Monday, publish research on Tuesday, and put a practical tool in someone's hands on Wednesday.
We envision a future where consent isn't negotiated under pressure — it's understood, practiced, and expected.
What we do
- Design and support consent-focused curricula for schools and universities.
- Fund and publish research on consent attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes.
- Convene advisors from medicine, education, and ethics to keep our work rigorous.
- Distribute clear guidance through newsletters and public resources.
The principles that guide every decision we make.
Consent is a conversation
We teach communication, not compliance. Affirmative consent is an ongoing exchange — not a checkbox.
Survivors come first
Survivor voices shape our programs. We center care, privacy, and dignity in everything we build.
Evidence over assumption
We fund and publish research because good intentions aren't enough. Outcomes matter.
Privacy by default
Any tool we endorse must respect the people using it — their data, their story, their choice.
Meet people where they are
Classrooms, campuses, phones. We show up wherever the conversation is actually happening.
Coalition over silos
Educators, clinicians, lawyers, technologists, students. No one solves this alone.
