‘Silence does not mean a yes’, ‘No means no’
We all are familiar with these statements but forget about it when required. However, Sweden has actually decided to do something about it.
Sweden has passed a new law saying that sex without consent is rape, even when there are no threats or force involved.
With the new law, Sweden will join a small number of countries, including Britain and Canada, where the lack of consent in sex, even without violence, is enough to constitute a crime.
