Spain has tightened its anti-rape laws and passed legislation requiring explicit consent to sex, a move pushed by its left-wing government after a horrendous gang rape incident caused uproar in the country.
It’s called “Only Yes Means Yes” Act, a bill that was passed by Parliament by a vote of 205 in favour and 141 against after passing the first reading by the legislature in May.
This is a reform of the Spanish Penal Code, which now defines rape as sexual intercourse without clear consent.
