Known as “Only yes means yes”, that law came into force in October, reforming the criminal code to define all non-consensual sex as rape. The change was passed by 233 votes in favour to 59 against and four abstentions in the 350-seat parliament. It will now move to the Senate where it is expected to pass without issue.
