Breaking the Silence: Unveiling the Gender-Neutral Perspective on Rape Laws in India

Author(s) Rohan Arora, Manas Srivastava
Country India
Abstract This article navigates the intricate landscape of gender equality in India, emphasizing the historical commitment to empowering marginalized groups. Despite substantial progress in women's literacy, a stark disparity persists in addressing male victims of sexual assault. The discussion involves the unexplored dimensions of gender-neutral sexual assault laws, challenging societal norms that contribute to the silence surrounding male victimhood.
Key issues explored include physiological misconceptions, entrenched cultural stigmas, and media biases that impede the recognition of male sexual assault. Drawing inspiration from progressive nations like Canada, Norway, and Sweden, known for their gender-neutral legislative frameworks, the article advocates for a paradigm shift in India.
It highlights the need for modifying existing laws to embrace a gender-neutral approach, creating an inclusive legal environment that unequivocally recognizes and safeguards the rights of all members of society.
Keywords sexual assaults, consent-based, victimization, gender neutral, legislation, bias, unveiling, approach, indian sexual assault laws.
