Campaigners in France are calling for changes to rape laws to explicitly include the term "consent" following the Gisèle Pelicot case, where her husband orchestrated multiple rapes while she was unconscious. Legal experts argue that current laws fail to meet European standards and do not adequately protect victims.
They emphasize the need for legislation that requires defendants to prove that consent was given, highlighting that existing laws focus on violence or coercion without addressing consent directly. This push for reform aims to enhance legal protections for victims of sexual violence.
