Change the Sexual Offences Act so women can be charged with rape against men

Petition Details

Change the current legal definition of rape to also include male victims of females

Additional Information

People found guilty of rape normally get longer sentences compared to people found guilty of sexual assault

With no aggravating factors, the suggested sentence for rape is longer than the suggested sentence for sexual assault

Rape is also often viewed as worse than sexual assault

It also means that rape is seen as a gendered crime on rape statistics in which only men are the perpetrators and women are the victims, which is false.
