Petition Action

Alter rape laws so that both sexes can actually get charged instead of just one.

Petition Details

The English law states that only men can commit the crime of rape. I would like to change that so that females are convicted for the same crime. It’s unfair for men to get convicted for the act of rape and yet women get less in prison for the same act and no definition so I ask we change rape laws

Additional Information

Sign this petition so we can have equal rape laws for men and women.

The law states rape is where a male penitrates a female with his penis making it impossible for a woman to rape a man

A woman can rape a man so we need to change the previous statement.
