Allow Women To Be Charged With Rape

Petition Details

In the U.K, Rape is defined as "Penetration of the Vagina, Mouth or Anus with [a man's] Penis.". It is unjust for women to only be held accountable up to a Sexual Assault charge when a Rape is committed by them. Please change the law to bring Rapists of both sexes to justice.

Additional Information

Sexual Offences Act, 2003; Section 1.
