Extend the legal definition of rape

Petition Details

The current legal definition of rape is penetration with a penis of the vagina, anus or mouth. This definition prevents victims of sexual acts, which did not involve a penis, or physical penetration, from receiving justice. This requirement is outdated and fails to accommodate for these individuals.

Additional Information

We call on the Government to change the definition of rape to include all forms or sexual acts, even when it is non-penetrative and has not involved a penis.
