This historic day didn't come about by chance
It's the result of years of campaigning by survivors who, by telling their painful stories, helped to ensure that other women don't have to go through what they endured
Kudos to them & my @amnesty colleagues

Sex without consent is rape
It's simple
It’s rape if someone is under the influence of drink or drugs
It's rape if someone has decided to go home with someone or is wearing revealing clothes
It’s rape if someone has not said “no” clearly or fought back amnesty.org/en/latest/camp…

"A forced yes is not consent
A mini-skirt is not consent
Drunk is not consent
Silence is not consent
There are no blurred lines when it comes to consent and that should be the same in the law
Sex without consent is rape
Tillykke #Denmark"
Powerful messages of congratulations.
