Revise Definition of Rape in 2013

Additional Information

The definition of rape in the UK is drafted from the point of view of a man, despite the crime being committed against a woman.

In 2013, the UK needs to revise this to include the point of view of a woman.

The UK needs to further recognise the many sexual assaults that are being committed against men in the UK.
