Denmark Passes Consent-Based Rape Law
Until this morning, Danish law defined rape by its use of violence. But Parliament has now passed a law specifying that rape is sex without explicit consent. “I know that sounds obvious,” said a spokesperson for the justice department. Lawmakers are following in the footsteps of several other European nations, including Sweden — which has seen rape convictions jump 75 percent since 2018 after passing similar legislation. The law will take effect Jan. 1.
