Since 1996 the activism has focused on the South African Law Reform Commission’s investigation into sexual offences, and the parliamentary process, which culminated at the end of 2007 in the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act.
Many of the authors of Should We Consent? were involved in substantive legal submissions, research and legislative drafting and promoting changes to the law to provide rape victims with effective redress and protection. Drawing on a body of empirical, social and legal scholarship, this unique text charts the critical social and legal debates and jurisprudential developments that took place during the rape law reform process.
This book also provides important insights into the engagement of civil society with law reform and includes thoughtful and contemporary discussions on topics such as ‘defining’ rape, HIV, sexual offences against children and sentencing of sexual offenders.
