Four Years After Her Passing, SafeBAE & AsskFirst Continue the Fight for Consent Education

On August 4th, we marked the four-year anniversary of Daisy Coleman’s passing. While her loss is deeply felt, her legacy continues to inspire action and change. Through SafeBAE, the organization she co-founded, and initiatives like AsskFirst, Daisy’s mission to educate and empower young people in the fight against sexual violence lives on.

Daisy’s Enduring Impact

Daisy Coleman’s story is one of incredible resilience and courage. Despite the immense personal challenges she faced, Daisy channeled her experiences into advocacy, co-founding SafeBAE to help other young people navigate the complexities of consent and stand up against sexual violence. Her efforts have not only raised awareness but also provided vital resources to teens, parents, and educators across the country.

One of Daisy’s impactful initiatives was the #QuitThisShit campaign, which she launched to combat the toxic culture of victim-blaming and shaming that often follows survivors of sexual violence. The campaign encourages young people to reject harmful behaviors and language, and instead promote a culture of respect and empathy. By challenging these negative norms, the #QuitThisShit campaign continues to empower survivors and educate communities on the importance of standing up against sexual violence.

AsskFirst: Continuing the Fight Through Fashion

One of the unique ways Daisy’s legacy is being carried forward is through AsskFirst, a project that combines fashion with a powerful message about consent. AsskFirst offers bow thongs emblazoned with consent phrases, turning a simple accessory into a statement of empowerment and a conversation starter about the importance of asking for consent.

What makes AsskFirst truly special is that 100% of every purchase goes directly to SafeBAE to fund the creation of more sexual assault prevention programs for teens. By purchasing AsskFirst products, supporters are not only making a bold statement about their values but also directly contributing to the expansion of SafeBAE’s mission.

AsskFirst is more than just a fashion brand—it’s a movement that aligns with SafeBAE’s mission of promoting consent education. By wearing AsskFirst products, supporters help spread awareness about the importance of consent in all relationships while ensuring that more teens have access to the resources they need to stay safe.
