What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted a resolution on the importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU, calling for legal definitions of rape to centre on the absence of consent.

The resolution highlights that most rapes are committed by known persons and that victims may freeze, so lack of physical resistance does not imply consent.

It urges member states to align their laws with the Istanbul Convention and to train justice professionals in trauma-informed approaches.
