Today at Amnesty International meeting some members presented the cases from AI or other international organisations that are working in the field of human rights.
I also talked about the news I found on official AI page. In Denmark the definition of rape in criminal law was changed to 'sex without consent'. Earlier for the crime to be recognise the prove of additional violence was required. This change happened on 17th December 2020. It is awful and frightening that even in European countries which are proud of how obedient they are of human rights and how much gender equality they have achieved this change is happening only now and not years ago. What's even more frightening is that Denmark is only the 12th country in Europe that recognises sex without consent as rape.
