'Only yes means yes' rape definition backed by EU lawmakers
On April 28, 2026, the European Parliament approved a cross-party initiative by a large majority, calling for a uniform EU-wide 'only yes means yes' consent-based definition of rape to replace the bloc’s divergent national legal models. The proposal also seeks aligned international standards and enhanced victim support, though a 2024 attempt failed due to member states’ concerns over EU authority in criminal law, a core area of national sovereignty.
