“Make sexual violence against transgenders punishable”
NEW DELHI: Women are not the only targets of sexual violence by men, but others based on their sexual, gender and other identities, are also victimised. As such, there was a need to introduce a new section that defines sexual assaults by men against persons other than women.
Responding to the Centre’s proposed Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill that seeks to make sweeping changes in the rape law regime, rights groups have said that the new law should recognise sexual violence against transgender persons as a punishable gender-based violence. This should include those who experience violence because of their sexual orientation.
They suggested that the Bill make a departure from the existing legal framework of “unnatural” carnal intercourse and draw the critical distinction between consent and lack of consent.
