Marital Rape: Gaps in the Law and Proposed Amendments

At our second event in our Building the Gender Machinery series, Marital Rape: Gaps in the Law and Proposed Amendments (held on March 15, 2022), Attorney and CEDAW Committee member Marion Bethel walked us through the Sexual Offences Act and the proposed amendment bill to criminalize marital rape. She helped us to identify existing gaps and opportunities to strengthen the law, protect women from sexual violence, and advance women’s rights.
