Denmark: Historic day as law passes to recognise that sex without consent is rape

© Jonas Persson Denmark is only the 12th country in Europe to recognise sex without consent as rape Responding to the passing of a bill in Denmark’s Parliament today that, once law, will recognise that sex without consent is rape, Anna Błuś, Amnesty International’s Women’s Rights Researcher, said: “This is a great day for women in Denmark as it consigns outdated and dangerous rape laws to the dustbin of history and helps to end pervasive stigma and endemic impunity for this crime. “Since culture is downstream from law, this is a vital first step towards change. The next task is to start creating a culture where everyone accepts that sex is based on consent and where professionals in the legal system have a high awareness of harmful gender stereotypes and rape myths.

Denmark to define sex without explicit consent as rape

Denmark has strengthened its rape laws by criminalising sex without explicit consent. The new law passed by Parliament on Thursday widened the circumstances that could constitute rape – under the old legislation, prosecutors had to show the rapist had used violence or attacked someone who was unable to resist. “Now it will be clear, that if both parties do no consent to sex, then it’s rape,” Justice Minister Nick Haekkerup said in a statement. “It is a groundbreaking day for gender equality in Denmark that we have now got a new consent law,” Haekkerup said. The Justice Ministry has said that a prosecutor will still have the burden of proof.

Denmark: Reform recognizes sex without consent as rape | Europe| News and current affairs from around the continent | DW

Denmark: Reform recognizes sex without consent as rape Sex without consent is rape but the principle is lacking in many legal frameworks in countries across Europe. Denmark is seeking to change this, with parliament approving a reform that gives new power to the word no. Of the 80,000 rapes that were reported to EU police in 2015, around nine out of 10 victims were women and girls. It was the middle of the night when Kirstine Holst was awoken by a man coming into her room. He tried to have sex with her even though she repeatedly asked him to stop. I didn t know what was happening. We have never had any romantic interaction and he wasn t accepting that I said no to him. And then he put his arm around my throat, and I realized my life was in danger, she tells DW.
