The No To Rape campaign advocates one simple idea: sexual violence by any person, against any person, is criminal violence. Consequently, non-consensual sexual penetration, regardless of whether the victim and perpetrator are married to each other, should be treated as rape.

At the moment, under the Penal Code, this is not the case. Except under limited circumstances that do not apply to the majority of married couples, this act will not be treated as rape.

With the repeal of Sections 375(4) and 376A(5) of the Penal Code, marital rape and other forms of rape will be treated in the same way under the law.

Please visit NoToRape.com to sign the online petition and check out resources to help you spread the word about the campaign. If every one of us can convince even one other person to sign, collectively, we will have a powerful voice.

No To Rape. No Exceptions.
