Despite the tremendous progress of the Women’s Movement over the past hundred years, there still remains a place where women are not ‘equal under the law’. And that is within the highly contentious area, of women being unable to be held fully accountable for perpetration of sexual violence. Because what so many people do not realise (and are shocked to find out) is that due to our highly gendered laws, it is still legally impossible for a woman to rape a man, or indeed, anyone else. Not only does this erase victims of female perpetration from visibility and validation, but it also dictates sentencing guidelines, academia, statistics, and even if/how someone is placed onto a Sex Offenders Register. So is it time we changed our language, our laws and perspectives to see men and boys too? Is it time we listen to all survivors of sexual violence? And is it time we totally refreshed the Sexual Offences Act? Listen to the full podcast with Duncan Craig OBE from @thisissurvivors here 👉 https://tinyurl.com/2ks8s7p8
